Varsity Boys Volleyball Update

The Varsity Boys Volleyball team has been quite busy these days.

It started with a trip out to Edmonton to check out what Western Canada has to offer. With some up and down play in the round robin, they managed to squeak their way into a quarterfinal by finishing 2nd in pool play.

In the quarterfinals they faced a top ranked Harry Ainley team. The game was extremely close neither team taking more than a 3 point lead throughout the whole match. In the end, the Royals were too good and took the match 2-0.

In the semi's the Royals came up against a very skilled Chinook team. It was close all the way but the Royals ran out of gas and couldn't quite play at the level they needed.

In the end they finished up in 4th place out of 24 teams.


This weekend, they have been in competition at the 49th Annual St Vital tournament. Playing in the top Power Pool on Thursday night, the Royals finished in 3rd place which put them into a Friday round of 16 match against College Jean Sauve which they handled in entertaining fashion 3-0.

Following the CJS match, the team came up against a determined Glenlawn team who was extremely persistent and fought for every point. However, despite losing the first set, the Royals stormed back to win the next 3 straight.

That puts the team into the semi-finals on Saturday against MBCI Hawks. Game time is 1:30 PM at College Jean Sauve. Get out there and cheer them on!

Go Royals!

Varisty Boys Volleyball Ups & Downs

The Varsity Boys volleyball season has been a roller coaster ride so far.

This past weekend at the UofM tournament they cruised through the round robin and quarterfinals and even defeated a top ranked St Pauls team in the semi's 2-0 on their way to the final. Unfortunately, the run of strong play stopped there and they lost 2-0 to Miles Mac in the Championship game.

In league play Monday night, the Royals visited the home of the MBCI Hawks hungry to redeem themselves from the weekend loss. Unfortunately, despite being close in each set, inconsistent play at the end of sets cost them dearly and they were defeated 3-0.

They have the rest of the week off before they start up the busiest part of their season. Next week they have home games against Miles Mac and River East Monday and Wednesday before they get on a plane to defend their Championship title at the Spruce Grove International tournament on Thanksgiving weekend.
