“We were so excited to watch the final Intramural Volleyball Championship match on Monday:  Mocha v Midnight!  Parents and family members, all of the 7th and 8th grade students, and all of the 6th graders who played volleyball this season came to the gym for our final competition. The teams were fairly evenly matched – lots of good volleys, great serves, and pretty awesome teamwork happened. Each team won one game and we had to go to a tie-breaker.  In the end, Midnight pulled to the top!! Congratulations to all the teams who played this season — and especially to Team Midnight.  Thanks to all of the staff and parents who helped make this season a success!!” ~Coach Benjaminson

A special thank you Coach Benjaminson for making it all happen!
