The Detroit Free Press featured Notre Dame Prep's volleyball team in today's news. Head coach Betty Wroubel says in the article that her team has played so well that she feels like a spectator on the bench sometimes because the unit is able to work on its issues without her help. "It’s a very special group,” said Wroubel. “They are a great group of kids. Academically, I think their GPA (grade point average) is a 3.88. They’ve done a great job in the classroom. They’ve done a ton of community service. We’ve already done a Helping Hands community project. First and foremost they’re great people and great citizens of our community."
