The Estevan Comprehensive School senior boys' volleyball team has reached provincials for the ninth year in a row.
The Elecs finished in second place at the 5A southern regionals in Swift Current on the weekend, earning one of three qualifying spots for provincials.
ECS finished second in their pool, defeating Weyburn in their opener and losing to Moose Jaw Central in their second game.
That sent the Elecs to a quarter-final tilt against the third-place squad in the other pool, Moose Jaw Vanier. Estevan won in straight sets.
In the semis, the Elecs faced a tough challenge in the Yorkton Regional Raiders, who had finished first in their pool.
ECS won in straight sets, 25-23 and 25-22, to clinch a spot at provincials and advance to the regional final against Moose Jaw Central.
The Cyclones won the final in two sets.
The Elecs' top attackers on the weekend were William Tabbernor, Kale Little and Jolan Lingelbach. Little, Lingelbach and Layton Stropko led the team in blocks, while Carson Perkins had the most aces.
The 5A provincials will be held this weekend in North Battleford.
Meanwhile, the ECS senior girls struggled at their regional tournament in Moose Jaw, hosted by A.E. Peacock.
The girls lost both of their round-robin games, followed by a defeat at the hands of Weyburn in the quarter-final. They did not advance to provincials.
