Each local volleyball team had good seasons this year, and each earned attendant honors to go with it.
BYRON CENTER – There were tears among the Montague volleyball players last Tuesday evening after the Wildcats lost a three-game regional Division 2 volleyball semifinal match against a dominant Coopersville, but the future looks bright.

RAVENNA — This time, Montague finished the job.
