Waynesboro (Sept. 15, 2008) - Potomac Falls High School swept through the competition at the Little Giant Volleyball Invitational on Saturday, winning three straight matches to take the title at Waynesboro High School.

Each match was three sets only so the Panthers eight straight wins to open the tournament clinched the title and their only blemish was a final set loss to Culpeper after the team trophy was already being engraved.
