Surprised not to see volleyball
I was surprised to not see any mention of the Cooperstown girls 2010-2011 volleyball team in your high school sports year in review.
The volleyball team was one of the most successful teams of the year posting an overall record of 15-3 and progressingto the Class C sectional final for the third time in four years (the only three times in team history that they ever made it to finals).
They lost a very tough, well played match to Tully 2-3 in the finals after an amazing win in the semifinals against Living Word Academy.

This Friday, the top-seeded boys will play fifth-seeded Syracuse Academy of Science in the sectional semifinal and the second-seeded girls will face No. 3 seed Fabius-Pompey. We wish both teams the best as they march toward the championships.
