The NRV 15 National Junior Volleyball team from Roanoke traveled to Richmond on Jan 16-18 and finished 14th of fifty-six teams entered in the 15’s division. After a disappointing first day, the team went on to win 4 of their final 5 matches, defeating the top Williamsburg and top Virginia Beach teams along the way. The head coach is Tom Houser and is assisted by Audrey Easter (James River High) and Kendall Patterson (Radford Univ). The team will be attending 7 tournaments this season, including trips to Washington DC in February, Atlanta in April, and hopefully, if they win the state championship, to Reno in June for Junior Nationals. Coach Houser’s teams have twice won the state championship, in 2006 and 2009.
