The Hanover Varsity Volleyball team has had a very successful sea- son. Currently holding an 11-4 record, the Marauders began the season with only four returning Varsity players. Of the ten new Varsity members, four are new to HHS, hailing from California,Florida, Spain and France. Photo courtesy of Mike Stinson The new team started slow, losing two of its first four games, but quickly gained speed and is now tied for fourth place in the Division II standings. Hanover Volleyball will host its first playoff game in the HHS gym on Wednesday 10/30 at 6:00.
