Here's a photograph of a print out of a picture taken at the Xcel Energy Center earlier in November during the Class 2A state volleyball tournament. In the photo are Coach Klaphake and a handful of members of the senior players.

It's been an impressive three-year run at the state tournament for the Sauk Centre volleyball team!

Thanks for the memories.
