Perfect Year For JV Team Coach Kathy Conety’s junior varsity volleyball team waltzed to an unblemished 11-0 season record. Only two times during the season were the reserves forced to play a third game. This is the first undefeated team that Blair has ever had in volleyball. Much of the squad’s success was attributed to their ex- cellent serving ability, team spirit and ability to accept and adjust to change. Many of these young players moved up to higher positions on the varsity.
