On Thursday, March 6th, the Staff and Senior Girl’s Volleyball at St. Benedict squared off to see who would have bragging rights going into the March Break. Both teams were cheered on by the students who gathered in the gym for this great spectacle. After a hard fought battle that went to a tie-breaking game, the Teachers prevailed with a 16-14 final set. Looks like the Girls will have to wait for next year to try and defeat the Teachers and claim the title themselves!
