The Varsity Boys did it! They defeated the #4 seeded River East Kodiaks in three straight games. Devren Dear hit a season high 25 kills and was unstoppable during the match which gave Joel Makara and Karl Fey some one on one opportunities which they pounded to the floor.
The boys will now play in the Final Four on Thursday at 6 pm at the U of M against the undefeated Miles Mac Buckeyes.
Can the Royals do it? Give the Bucks their only upset at the biggest point of the season???

JV Boys are going to the Provincials!
Congratulations to the JV boys who scrapped their way to a win over the Westwood Warriors in a wildcard match Monday night. The season was on the line for the team and though they struggled at times they did what they needed to in order to win in 4 sets and earned a berth into Provincials.
The team is now off to Portage La Prairie where they will have an opportunity to reach their season goal of playing and performing well at provincials. They have proven that they can beat the best teams out there already this season but now they will have to do it when it counts.
Good luck Royals!!
Stay tuned to the blog as we will be making live updates as the matches are completed.

Quote of the Week
Two great quotes from football coaching legend Bear Bryant:
"It's not the will to win that matters - everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters."
"There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success."

KPAC Volleyball Semi-Final Update
The Royals JV and Varsity girls teams are both through the KPAC semi-finals while the boys teams were both knocked out by Miles Mac Buckeyes squads.
The most thrilling of the four semi-finals were the boys and girls JV matches, both of which went the full 5 sets.
The JV boys were playing at home and had a comfortable 2-0 lead but could not finish off the Buckeyes and fell short 15-12 in the 5th set. The boys were ranked number one in the province going into the playoffs and are now anxiously waiting to see if they will receive a wildcard into the provincials next week.
The JV girls match was an absolute thrill ride with four of the five sets decided by only 2 points. In the end, the Royals were able to win when it counted and took the final set 15-13 and will now face the MBCI Hawks in the finals on Thursday night at MBCI. Game time will be 6:00.
In Varsity action, the boys were out-gunned by the undefeated Buckeyes and while they had some good runs they were not able to sustain the effort and lost the match in three sets.
The Varsity girls on the other hand were able to easily dismantle the MBCI Hawks in straight sets and now face the Buckeyes Wednesday night in KPAC finals.
It has been an fantastic season so far for the volleyball teams and with each team ranked in the top 10 you can expect exciting action every time they step on the court.
Go Royals!
