The team placed 3rd respectfully in the tournament and now look forward to their next tournament on October 25-26 in Esterhazy. "The team has made huge strides from the beginning of the year as we started with a young team. Kade Johnson has improved his setting for the team, while Jonah Sutter has really got his timing on his middle hits.
Sam Lohnes has improved his speed at the net shutting down the opposition with his blocks. Captain Jaedon Pellatt and Riley Kerr lead the team in kill shots at the net with their strong hitting. Key passers Mackenzie Biblow and Bryan Buzinski have contributed to setting up many plays" says coach Curtis Moen.
