 I remember when we defeated Spencerport. They had three spikers over six feet which intimidated us. However, we played our best match of the year. — Jody Martin That final match against Midlakes! They were bringing a spectator bus to the match, so we needed some support. The fans came out in flocks! The gym was filled to capacity! I'd never seen anything like it in my four years of volleyball. There was a new feeling in the air! The program was getting recognition. The match went down as a loss, but we won as a team. — Mike Mirras For scoring 24 points in the volleyball game against Victor, junior Derek Radtke made Gannett Sports Communication Athlete-of-the-week No GHS athlete had ever won the award before.
