In an epic clash of volleyball titans, the Lady K's emerged victorious, 3 games to 1. The following night, the Lady K's hosted the Bellmont Squaws and lost, 3 games to none. Thursday night the Volleyball girls hit the road and headed on their way to pulling out their second victory this week, 3 games to 2, against the New Haven Bulldogs. Injury has plagued the volleyball girls and they have managed to fight through this. All in all, it was a pretty good week in the volleyball world at Norwell.
