What a year! After a slow beginning the varsity started working together as a real team. With second place finishes in the Spalding Tournament and the PHS Quadrangular, the team was ready to win. Ranked fourth at Districts, the girls had their work cut out for them. The hard work and the will to win payed off when they won the District cham- pionship. Regionals was their next obstacle, but again they emerged victorious, becoming the first volleyball team in the history of PHS to go to the State Tournament. Sadly, the team loses seven seniors. Great going girls! Top right. Jackie Daly displays the winning form which earned her All-State honors, as she sets the ball during the Spalding Tourna- ment.
