Congratulations to the Hilltop girls’ volleyball team for making your community proud! Your achievements, both on and off the court, are truly remarkable and inspiring. We hope this tribute, filled with action-packed photos capturing just a glimpse of your historic season, will be cherished for years to come. It serves as a testament to your hard work, dedication, and the spirit of teamwork that has brought your success.

Over the years, we’ve received numerous requests to create keepsake tributes using our “best of the best” newspaper photos, especially when our teams progress far in tournament action. We are thrilled to present one of our first efforts here with the 2024 Lady Cadets, celebrating their outstanding journey and accomplishments.

If the price per keepsake seems high, please consider our costs distributed among a very small community in the midst of challenging inflation. Our little towns have small populations, thus we need a high level of support to break even on our expenses, unlike businesses that operate in bigger markets. Many parents invest considerably more ordering a few photo purchases from our website than the price of this 32-page exclusive feature at $20.00. This feature costs less than 30 cents per photo. Your support helps us continue to provide quality coverage and celebrate local achievements.

We hope the community appreciates our dedication to provide this special keepsake. We feel that these tributes, which cannot be found at a local mega-mart or online shopping site, provide a once in a lifetime gift opportunity. By choosing to support local, you are also helping to sustain our community’s spirit and economy.

All photos within the tribute are also available for purchase online at www.thevillagereporter.com (click photo albums option).
