TRI-CITY AREA — The Almont 14U volleyball club team, which ironically includes a roster of players hailing exclusively from Imlay City, gave a good account of themselves at a season-ending tournament in March 7 in Holly.
The team concluded pool play with a 4-2 mark. That landed them an appearance in the gold bracket.
It was there the squad watched their tournament path draw to a close with a semifinal setback.
Their semifinal appearance capped a season which saw the team play in five tournaments, the first of which took place in January.
The lineup consists of sixth through eighth-graders.
Karter Wetzel (eighth), Hannah Sapp (eighth), Brooklyn Schroyer (seventh), Tori Lestage (sixth), Gabby Cremeans (eighth), Summer Hoblet (eighth), Aaliyah Guerrero (eighth), Lexa Forti (eighth) and Lily Makedonsky (eighth) comprised their roster.
