HAUGHTON Community School's under-15 boys volleyball team have reached the quarter-finals of the national volleyball championships after winning the northern regional heat.
The Darlington team travelled to Warrington to compete against teams from Manchester and Liverpool and won all six games without dropping a set.
Haughton's second team also performed well, finishing in sixth place.
The school's head of PE, Jackson Sweeting, said: "I knew that they were quite good, the best in this area, but it's very difficult when you don't know what you're up against."
The team will travel to Worcestershire in March for the quarter-finals.
