The Sacred Heart High School (SHHS)Saints senior boys' volleyball team competed at the Hepburn Hawks six team. Teams included Hepburn, Clavet, Sacred Heart, Vonda, Borden and Perdue.
Friday, the team did well, defeating Vonda and Clavet, but came up short against Hepburn.
Saturday, the team was short-handed with only six players on the bench as SHHS athletes were spread thin attending either a regional soccer tournament in Saskatoon or involved in football playoffs at Sacred Heart.
The shorthanded team faced off against Perdue which went to a third set where the Saints lost 9-15.
The last round robin game against Borden, a very strong team, saw the Saints losing 14-25 in both sets.
After round robin play the Saints finished fourth overall which put them into the semi-playoffs against the first place team, Borden.
Sacred Heart lost 18-25 and 14-25 and was eliminated.
"It was nice to see how strong the team was on Friday with most of our roster in attendance. Preston Liebrecht was a strong force in the power position which teams could not block against.
Saturday, the young squad did very well to rally against some strong opponents and showed significant improvements as the day progressed," reports coach Curtis Moen.
The Senior Saints look forward to hosting their home tournament at SHHS this weekend.
