Kudos to Junior Boys Volleyball Team
Congratulations to the Junior Boys Volleyball Team on a superb season. The boys won the regular season 8-1 which allowed them the opportunity to host the playoffs at Madawaska Valley District High School (MVDHS). They went on to win all of their tournament games on November 7th — at home — placing them first in the County! Their success stirred up a lot of excitement at MVDHS. The boys then went to play at Eastern Ontario Secondary Schools Athletic Association (EOSSA) in Elgin and made it to the semi-finals on November 13, but were unfortunately defeated by a Kingston team. The boys placed third overall at EOSSA.
