About this Article

The opening night of the girls volleyball season was a harbinger of the what is expected to be a common theme in the Upstate Eight River Division.

Renee Rhoades' serve fell innocuously to the floor, only inches from the back line, as the North Stars earned the final point after squandering an 11-point second-game lead against Batavia in the schools' league opener.
