The 2009 Season
The Lady Bruins finished a fantastic season in 2009 with a record of 23-9. The girls played with such heart and intensity ... it was exciting to watch! The move to Division II was tough, but it allowed the team to face some tremendous competition, and the team improved greatly throughout the season. It ended the season with a substate loss to Knoxville Webb, who then went on to be the State Runner-Up. The team would once again like to send a huge "thank you" to their parents and all the "Rowdy Bruin Fans" for their support this year. Congratulations to Kayla Petty for being named to the All-Region Team and All-Region Tournament Team and All-State and All-West; to Abbey Orr for being named to the All Region Team — Honorable Mention and All-West; and to Halle Priester for being named All-West — Honorable Mention.
— Coach Chrissy Petty

Volleyball 2008
The varsity volleyball team had an exceptional season that ended with the girls being runners up to the Region title. The girls were one game away from going to the state tournament.
After being District runners up, they qualified for Region; after coming in second place in the Region, they qualified for sectionals where they were defeated by South Side.
Kayla Petty, pictured, left to right, Katie Mansfield, and Abbey Orr were selected to the All-District Team and Region All-Tournament team. Kayla and Katie also were selected to the District All-Tournament team.
Fall 2005
With six seniors and seven juniors, the volleyball team was loaded with experience. The team went undefeated in the district, 11-0. The team did NOT lose a single game in a match. Coach Sue Hanson called the team, one of the best "I have ever coached. We are solid in every position, and I not only have six starters on the court I can count on, I have four that rotate in consistently from the bench. This group of girls works so well together, and you can see their chemistry on the court."
The team won the district, region and substate tournaments and finished at the state level.
Senior setter Joanna Suddath made school history in November 2005 when she signed with Wofford College in South Carolina, a Division I school, to play volleyball. She was the first volleyball player in USJ history to take her volleyball abilities to the next level!
