The Sacred Heart High School (SHHS) senior boys' volleyball team competed at the Melville Comprehensive High School six team tournament Saturday. Participating teams included Melville Comprehensive High School (MCS), Indian Head, Oxbow, Kipling, SHHS and Wolseley.
The Saints went 7-3 only losing sets to Oxbow and splitting sets with Kipling through the round robin to finish second in the round robin. The second place finish advanced the Saints to the final against Oxbow.
In the final, Sacred Heart came up short losing to Oxbow 20-25 and 14-25. "This was a great tournament where we rarely have our full team present. The athletes got lots of court action throughout the day and I really noticed improvements as the day progressed," say Saints coach Curtis Moen.
Moen cites Justin Shumay and Jared Buzinski for great serving, Dylan Johnson for his middle hitting, Preston Liebrecht for his power hitting, Brett Tuttosi for his strong blocking at the net and Colin Shewchuk for his setting.
Overall, it was a great team effort and Moen looks forward to competing in Hepburn October 21-22 and hosting the SHHS home tournament October 28-29.
