Palos South Middle School Physical Education teacher and volleyball coach Martin Duggan said that the championship win capped a great season for the team and was a great way to close out the players’ middle school athletic careers.

“Palos South is going to miss these 8th graders as they go off to high school, but we look forward to seeing all that they accomplish,” said Duggan, adding “These girls made their school and their families very proud.”
