In their last matches of the season, the Junior Girls Yellow Volleyball team showed some grit, determination and a lot of great play. With some excellent work at the net from Payton and Brooklyn, some fantastic digging from Hailey and Charlie and consistent serving from Maya, Deirdre and Kayla the Yellow Hornets finished the season with a straight sets win over UNISUS. Fantastic dedication and commitment this season, especially to Olivia who showed up to practices and games despite her injury. Go HORNETS
