GULF BREEZE, Fla. — The Gulf Breeze beach volleyball team are national champions once again.
This is the second year in a row the Lady Dolphins have taken the title. They beat New Smyrna Beach High School in the 2A FHSAA state championship game.
This team didn’t even exist a few years ago, and they’re already national champions again. They earned that title by being the No. 1 ranked team in the nation, according to MaxPreps.com.
“I think the first time it was crazy. National champions, that’s kind of unheard of here,” said senior volleyball player Bella Satterwhite. “So just to have it back-to-back, I mean, is amazing and it’s all because of the community, our coaches, the parents — since we are are parent-funded. Everything helps and we couldn’t thank the community enough.”
Eight players are committed to play at D-1 schools, another accomplishment for the team.
