Just three years into the program, the East Hamilton Lady Hurricanes volleyball team has experienced a whirlwind of excitement this season with numerous wins.
“Overall we rank sixth in the state,” said assistant coach Jen Casey. “For a school that’s only been open for three years, only winning nine games the first year and now going to state, that’s huge. It shows how hard our girls really work.”
