Woodstock North has not been blessed with lots of height in recent seasons.
In volleyball, that can be a major disadvantage when you’re constantly looking up to players on the other side of the net.
The Thunder, though, don’t seem bothered.
On Monday night, North did what no other KRC team has done since the start of 2023, beating Richmond-Burton in two sets to end the Rockets’ 32-match win streak in conference play .
With the victory, the Thunder moved to 5-0 in the KRC to take sole possession of first place. North (8-3, 6-0) defeated Sandwich in two sets on Wednesday.
North’s tallest player (senior middle blocker Alyssa Martin) is listed at 6-foot, but other than 5-9 sophomore Ava Kardaras, who led everyone with nine kills Monday, the Thunder do not have a player taller than 5-8.
