Our team came very close to beating (within 3 points) Gunn High School from San Jose. The day was extremely challenging but the lady Viking worked very hard to finish is the Silver division.

9/17/09 Valley defeated Bentley in 4 games. Valley struggled in the first game getting their rhythm. Good serving and passing from Bentley’s team put Valley on the defense most of the match. Rebecca Silva’s setting and Edirin Sido quick hitting made the difference in the following 3 games. Game scores were 26-25,25-18,

Message from our Coach:
This was one of our most successful volleyball teams ever! This team was made up of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. We finished in first place in our league with a 12-0 record. We went on to compete in the North Coast Section finals and finished in 2nd place. I will always remember how this team prayed together and took care of each other. What a wonderful testament to how God can strengthen us when we call upon him for strength. Fantastic job!!
