The Sacred Heart High School (SHHS) junior girls competed at a six team round robin junior girls' volleyball tournament at the Melville Comprehensive School (MCS).
SHHS downed Esterhazy, Stockholm and MCS in two sets.
The Junior Lady Saints then split with the Yorkton Regional High School (YRHS) and lost two sets to Melville, St. Henry's to complete the round robin in second place with a 7-3 record to earn a bye into the semi-final match.
The Lady Saints faced the Lady Raiders in the semi final. Sacred Heart won the first set, lost the second and then won the third game to advance to the final against Melville, St. Henry's.
Unfortunately, despite their best effort, the Lady Saints lost the final to St. Henry's in two straight sets.
Junior Lady Saints coach Brian Chisholm was very pleased with the way the team played throughout the entire tournament. "They've shown tremendous improvement since the beginning of the season, and the team has really come together," he says.
The team is looking forward to competing in the district championships next weekend in Churchbridge and Langenburg where the girls will try to win a district gold medal for the third straight year. "We will need to beat some very good teams to reach that goal, but based on the way the team played this weekend, our goal is within reach," Chisholm closes.
