The tournament consisted of five teams from across the east central district: Sacred Heart, Yorkton Regional, Langenburg, Melville and Sturgis.
The volleyball tournament was a round robin format.
After the round robin matches the top four teams advanced to the playoffs.
Sturgis and Langenburg played in the bronze match. Sturgis took the bronze in a close match winning 25-17, 21-25 and 15-7.
In the gold match it was the YRHS vs. Melville.
The Yorkton Regional easily took the gold winning in two straight sets 25-10 and 25-11.
“This was Sacred Heart’s first tournament of the season and it was nice to finally be back on the court” said coach Curtis Moen.
“The team struggled with their first couple matches only having seven players and getting court positioning figured out.
“The young team made huge improvements throughout the tournament.
“Our last round robin match was our strongest having a close match against YRHS.
“Dylan Prince did a great job taking on the setter position for the team.
“Braeden Zerff and Brayden Klingspon laid down some big hits at the net.
“Ostap Kucherha lead the team in blocks while Rhencent Manalo did a great job passing and serving for the team.”
The team would like to thank our team sponsors this year for all their support: Ram Industries, Leon’s Manufacturing, Smith Steel, Premier Cabinets, and Parkland College.
Next game action for the Saints is Sept. 25, as the team travels to Langenburg.
