Three different teams of the Weyburn Volleyball Club had successful tournaments during the March 12 to 13 weekend.
The under-13 volleyball team competed in Rouleau on March 12. They finished third after round robin play, then won a very close 15-13 semi-final during the third set.
In the final against QCVC Smashers the under-13 team played hard but fell 23-25 and 22-25 to win the silver medal at their first tournament of the year. Coach Kevin Mahnke said “the girls improved every game. They put on amazing display in two point-for-point sets, but unfortunately did not pull off a win.”
The under-16 volleyball team won gold in the division two category at the Sask. Cup #2 tournament, held March 12 and 13.
They have positioned themselves in division one for the third Sask Cup. The team went 3-0 in their cross over pool against Arcola Vipers, RVC and the Warriors. Their victory over RVC solidified their move up to division one.
The team played well all weekend, but lost a hard fought crossover to Saskatoon Smash.
Coach Tonya Mokelki said that “the girls showed huge improvement even from last weekend.”
“They continue to work hard every practice, and that dedication is starting to pay off.”
The under-14 Wildcats volleyball team won silver at the Regina QCVC tourney, held March and 13. The Wildcats went undefeated during the tournament, only losing a tight game in the final to Oxbow 24-26 and 23-25.
