Accomplishments of this year’s team include winning the 10th region championships, making them one of 16 teams to compete in the KHSAA state volleyball tournament.

This year was also the second time the team has made state semifinals in 10 years. Additionally, the team has a 15-year streak as an all-academic team for their collective academic performance.

Bell also honored individual team members with recognitions and issued a city proclamation in the team’s honor.

“I hope they [the team] really appreciate what happened this year and what they were able to accomplish together as a group and as a team,” said Coach Andrea Sullivan. “And this is something that I think they’re going to remember for the rest of their lives.”
