UTICA – The Norwich High School girls varsity volleyball team became champions of the Monday night summer league at Mohawk Valley Community College after beating Mt. Markham, 3-1, on Monday, July 31.

“They’re a great, hard-working bunch of girls,” said NHS girls varsity head coach Shelly Alger. “I’m so proud of both [NHS] teams.”

Of the 15 competing teams, Alger says Norwich brought two teams: The championship winning ‘purple’ team, and a younger, ‘white’ team, fostering two seventh graders.
