FALL RIVER: The Fall River Fury Under-15 girls could be forgiven if they changed their team name to ”the Cardiac kids.”

That’s because after surviving and rallying from a 14-11 deficit in the third tie breaker in the semi-final at the Elites of the East Volleyball  classic, the Fury went on to win in the championship in two sets.

The Fury, coached by Kenzie Brimicombe and Morgan Deveaux, defeated the Red Crimson in the semi-final in the three-set tiebreaker at the Grant-Harvey Centre in Fredericton to punch their ticket for the championship.
