With what seemed like the entire East Central community watching, the Hornets defeated the Clark Cougars volleyball team in the first round of the 2009 5A playoffs.  The Cougars scored the first point of the match but that would be their only lead, falling 14-25, 17-25 and 16-25.  This was the 25th straight year the Cougars have made it to the playoffs.  Special recognition goes to this year’s Seniors – Vanessa Casanova, Claire Webster, Katlin Mazzocco, Kayla Jarzombek, Liz Bergman and Stephanie Peña.  Congratulations, you’ll be missed and good luck next year.

The Cougars are coached by Kristen Daniell.
