Mike Vukovcan The Hopewell Girls Junior High Volleyball season came to an end yesterday afternoon following a loss to Fort Cherry.
The results of Wednesday’s match were inconsequential because this was a tremendous season of development for both the 7th and 8th grade teams. For these 7th grade girls, this was their first time competing in junior high action and the progress and results that they showed is very encouraging for the future of Hopewell Girls Volleyball.
Hopewell 7th Grade Girls Volleyball Team
Yesterday was the last junior high match for the 8th graders as they’ll take their skills to play for the high school program next season with head coach Terry Borkovic.
“That’s a wrap! Jr. high volleyball season 2025 is in the books,” said Coach Borkovic. “Some will stay with volleyball. Some players will move on to other sports/activities. I wish those girls the best! This team was awesome! Their effort and attitude were outstanding! I enjoyed this season immensely!
Just to put a bow on the season, Fort Cherry is an excellent program and yesterday they put their talent on display.
In the 7th grade match, Fort Cherry won 25-19 and 25-21. Aces for Hopewell were served by Sam Holsinger (2), Brooke Otto (2) and Audrey Budris (1).
In the 8th grade match, the score was 25-9 and 25-20. Aces for Hopewell were served by Bella Cipolla (2), Ava Ray (2), and Abby Babinsack.
Both Hopewell teams had great serving days with only 3 errors each. However, Fort Cherry is just excellent at receiving and turning it around into an offensive play.
