Year 8 Volleyball – State Championships

On Wednesday 8th of November, the Year 8 boys volleyball team competed in the State Championships at Dandenong Stadium. The team had a tough first match against McKinnon Secondary College, dropping the first two sets. They were able to come back for consecutive 2-set wins against Catholic College Wodonga (20-17, 20-10) and Daylesford Secondary College (20-12, 20-10). This meant our boys made it through to the semi-final against Victoria University College. Lalor won the first set 20-18 and dropped the second set 12-20. The third set was an absolute nail-biter, with the lead changing multiple times. In the end, VU College narrowly won 16-14. The Year 8 team has trained together all year and as a school, we could not be proud of them. A huge thank you again to our wonderful coaches: Jhoey and Jakeh, for their efforts throughout the year. Bring on 2024!
