The Naugatuck Plant’s volleyball team is shown here playing the YMCA team in the YMCA’s industrial league. The team members are: Bob Roland, Rich West, Mark Scott, Tony Teixeira, Karla Phair, Colleen Brady, Pete Ballard, Steve Baker, Kevin Burns, Tom Burns, Jennifer Chan, Tom Carey and Henry Roman.
They play every Tuesday night at the YMCA and have a few more games left. The last game is March 10th. We’re sure they would love a cheering section. Come out, see them, and enjoy the evening.
