The Highlander Volleyball team was fortunate enough to be invited to see the Arkansas Razorbacks play the Florida gators last night in Barnhill Arena. It was a great way to close out Volleyball season and come together as a group. After last night, the team is ready to get back to work preparing for next fall!
We would like to give a special thank you to the Razorback Foundation for making our team experience possible.
