Packer Pelicans beat the unbeatable for ACIS volleyball title
Sweep Mighty BFS for Independent School Volleyball Crown
Sixteen had taken on the challenge, and 16 had failed.
The previously unbeaten and, to a certain extent, unchallenged boys’ varsity volleyball team from Pearl Street’s Brooklyn Friends School hadn’t dropped a single set this season, reeling off 48 stanzas in a row, entering last week’s Athletic Conference of Independent Schools championship match at St. Francis College.
But the Blue Pride’s neighborhood rivals from Joralemon Street’s Packer Collegiate Institute put an unexpected end to BFS’ run at perfection, pulling off a stunning three-set sweep (25-21, 25-15, 25-22) en route to the ACIS crown.
