HBHS Volleyball Waikato Champions

The HBHS Senior Volleyball team is number 1 in the Waikato.  Teacher in charge of volleyball, Mr Tane Hughes reports on their successful title defence last week...

On Friday 8th March, Hamilton Boys' High School defended their Waikato Secondary Schools Volleyball title with a 3 nil win over Fraser High School.  The straight set scores do not reflect the tough challenge that Fraser put up, in the second and third sets in particular.

The team captained by Morgan Wills went through their season without dropping a set against any team, let alone losing any games.  As a result Hamilton Boys' High School take the Waikato number one rankings to the NZ Volleyball Championship in Palmerston North next week where they will play in Division 1.  (cont)

For Morgan, Josh McIvor, Richard Wilkins and Matthew Polley this will be their 3rd senior National tournament they have represented the school in.  Kelly Williams, Hamuera Lee, Matthew MacArthur and Matthew Munro will complete the squad. With this being the strongest team the school has had in a number of years, a high placing is hoped for.

Special mention must be made of the efforts that Coaches Mike Polley and Hemi Coates have made over the past year and thanks must be made to all the family and friends who have supported them this season.
