HAMILTON - We are the champions! A champion is not a word that would have come to mind when practice started for the Haleyville Parks and Recreation volleyball program in August of this year. However, the Haleyville P&R All-Star team captured the state title on Nov. 10, in Hamilton. Last year’s team finished as state runner-up in Tuskegee, beaten by Arab. The All-Star team included girls in the fifth and sixth grades.
