A great effort last night by our girls! Our JV girls volleyball team played at Harkins yesterday afternoon against the Grade 7 team. Harkins defeat our girls but the games were very close. This wraps up the regular season for the team who finished with a winning record. The girls will be practicing today as they start preparing for the Jamboree at the end of the month.
