The Volleyball season ended early for the Sacred Heart High School Saints Senior Boys volleyball team. The team was the host of the 4A Conference playdowns on Nov. 10, with the top teams advancing to the regional event.
In the first match, Sacred Heart met Sturgis. The visiting team was the dominant one, taking down Sacred in straight sets.
Yorkton then met Humboldt, the team which won the tournament overall at the end of the weekend. Sacred Heart lost that game in straight sets as well with scores of 17-25 and 21-25. Humboldt was undefeated that day.
The final game of the tournament saw the Saints take on Wadena. Sacred Heart was more successful taking on the Wadena crew, winning the game overall with two sets to one. The scores of those games were 24-26, 25-10 and 17-15.
The end result was a Humboldt in the lead with the remaining teams in a three-way tie. The final result was decided the set ratio between the teams. Sacred Heart needed to win in straight sets against Wadena to move on.
As a result, even with the win, the Sacred Heart team wound up in the basement of the tournament standings, with Humboldt, Wadena and Sturgis moving on to the 4A Regional playoffs in Sturgis.
Coach Curtis Moen would like to thank the grade 12 students who are graduating this year, Jett Stechyshyn, Carter Somogyi and Brady Gelowitz for their hard work with the team over the years.
