Continuing the Tradition The Varsity Girls Volleyball team had an outstanding year despite the loss of five starters to gradua- tion. Rebuilding the team was a major goal for the Varsity Volleyball program. After losing only one game to James River, during the regular season, the girls had a fantastic victory over the Glenvar Highlanders in the district contest. Enthusiastic fans helped to motivate the Rebels to a victory. “We knew we had to give 110 per- cent to win the district cham- pionship and to defend our Regional title,’ said Karen Fitzgerald. Earning the title of District Champions, the Rebels went on to the Regional tournament. In Regional semi-finals the Rebels defeated Galax in a tough fought three game match. This win advanced the girls on to the Regional finals. Although in the Regional Finals the Lady Rebels lost to Castlewood, this proved they could play with the best. In VARSITY VOLLEYBALL the state tournament, which was hosted by RHS, the Castlewood team was named State Champions. Throughout the season the Rebels upheld their previous winning record by competing in regionals for the seventh year and by becoming District Champions for the sixth year.
