FALL RIVER — The Herald News kicks off Spring All-Scholastics with boys volleyball all-stars.
Durfee was the lone team in the Greater Fall River area. The Hilltoppers enjoyed a great season in 2024, finishing with a 14-8 record. Durfee punched its ticket to the postseason and even won a Division I preliminary matchup with Everett.
No one on the Hilltoppers had a season like senior Chris Milford, who was named the Herald News Boys Volleyball Player of the Year.
The Herald News is pleased to announce the 2024 Spring All-Scholastics volleyball all-stars from Greater Fall River:
