Girls Volleyball
DID YOU KNOW - VHSL first conducted girls volleyball championships for Group AA in 1983 with Abingdon High School winning the state title. Group A held its first state championship in 1986 with Page County claiming the first state crown. Group AAA held its first VHSL championship game in the fall of 1993 with C.D. Hylton of Woodbridge claiming the title. A winter sport for Group AA and Group A schools from 1983-2003, both groups moved its season to fall beginning in 2003. Frank W. Cox High School of Virginia Beach is the VHSL-record holder with five state championships.
In the 2010 VHSL Girls Volleyball Championships, Loudoun County High School won its fourth straight Group AA title in three games over Grafton High School. Floyd E. Kellam High School won its first VHSL Group AAA championship in four games over runner-up Stone Bridge High School. In Group A Division 1, Nelson County High School won its first-ever volleyball title defeating Mathews High School in a four-game match. In Division 2, James River-Buchanan also claimed its first title with a thrilling five-game win over defending Group A champs Gate City High School.
