State Run

The Varsity Volleyball team advanced to the State Tournament at the US Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids for the third time in four years to face #1 Tripoli (34-4) who has won seven State Championships in the last ten years. The Defenders have finished their season with a 25-15 season record. Congratulations to Coach Thompson, his staff, and the team!

2009 marks the first time the volleyball team has earned a spot in the State Tournament in back-to-back years. Additionally, this is the sixth time since Grandview joined the IGHSAU and IHSAA in 1990 that a squad has played in State.
