The volleyball team proved their pre-season doubters wrong Tuesday night at Moon, winning 3-1 and clinching the section title.

The Highlanders claimed the section championship with one regular-season game remaining. The team’s record is 10-1.

Having to deal with the loss of five seniors, the team was doubted going into the season.

“I think that a lot of people underestimated our team, but I personally expected a great outcome this year,” senior Brenna Green said.

The girls used the situation to their advantage, proving their worth with strong performances all season long.

“We knew we were the underdogs, so we had the attitude to prove them wrong,” Green said.

The Highlanders finish section play Thursday with their senior recognition night against Bethel Park.
