            HONORING THE SPRING GROVE GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LLOYD SMUCKER

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 8, 2021

  Mr. SMUCKER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Spring Grove 
Area High School girls' volleyball team for winning the PIAA Class 3A 
volleyball championship last month, with a 3-1 victory over Hampton.
  Spring Grove's path to the championship was not always certain, as 
they faced difficult competition in the state semifinals and 
quarterfinals. Thanks to their passion and hard work, the team rose to 
the challenges and emerged victorious, becoming state champions, and 
finishing out the season with a nearly undefeated record. Their win 
marks the first time that Spring Grove Area School District has ever 
won a state championship in volleyball and just the second time that 
the district has won a state championship. This is an incredible 
achievement and one of which the players, their parents, and head 
coach, Liz Zeigler, should be enormously proud.
  Congratulations to the team for this accomplishment and I wish the 
graduating seniors the best of luck in their future endeavors.

                          ____________________
