Richmond Hill High School’s fledgling volleyball team turned four years old in August by debuting in Class AAAAA.

This after the team played tough out of region competition early in the year to help prepare the team for the posteason, coach Ashleigh Davis-Lee said.

"I think our core has become stronger," said Davis-Lee, talking about the after affect of nonregion losses to Bluffton and Savannah Country Day to open the season and a tournament at Camden County. "We struggled at the start of the season. We had some kinks to work out and we worked those out."
