Dexter's T.S. Hill Middle School volleyball girls worked hard on the court all season - finishing with a perfect season. It was a volleyball season to remember.

But these young ladies will be remembered for something else other than their emerging skill in a sport. They will be remembered for their heart, enthusiasm, and care for others.

Earlier this month the middle school teams hosted a "Dig Pink" volleyball game to raise awareness about and funds for the fight against breast cancer. And in the planning of the event the teams voted that funds raised would stay here at home. So the team designated the money for the 18 Fore Life Foundation to help local women with breast cancer.

Thursday night was the culmination of their project when the girls presented the local foundation with donation of monumental proportions.

The teams presented Scott Kruse of the 18 Fore Life Foundation with a check for $2,133.95 from the Dig Pink game.

Kruse noted the girls have proven to be champions on the volleyball court, but that their efforts "shows an understanding of wanting to do something more than just win games."

Coach Melissa Hahn said the teams'huddle saying is "How do we play? HARD. SMART. TOGETHER!!"

"These girls are smart, work hard, and together can make a very big different in our community."
