It was a great night of high school volleyball, the captains on both teams showcased themselves tonight, that is for sure!" Coach Maggie Farrell said in an email. "The season is coming to an end and the respect that these athletes have for each other is rewarding to see. Also, all 16 of the Massena volleyball players put the time and effort in at practice, they make each other better players, the girls on the sideline are a huge piece to our success thus far this season. The support and encouragement these young ladies have for each other on and off the court is what I am most proud of."
