The Rookie Girls volleyball team has had a successful season so far. On October 7th they travelled to Carnduff. On October 13th, they participated in a small round-robin tournament in Oxbow. They were undefeated against Oxbow Prairie Horizons School, Carievale and Carlyle Elementary School. On October 20th, they travelled to Arcola and although they did not come up on top, it was a great match-up. Best of luck as they conclude their season on November 12th in Oxbow at Division Playoffs.
The Junior Girls continue their great season in Oxbow on Halloween weekend. Best of luck to the girls then and also in their District Championship on November 12th in Estevan.
Junior boys’ volleyball practices are Monday and Wednesday from 5:00 – 6:30. The junior boys are hosting the District Volleyball Championship on Nov. 12 at GFK.
The rookie boys’ volleyball team is really showing progress this year. They’ve played games against Arcola, Oxbow, Stoughton and Redvers. Our assistant coaches, Jorja Bendtsen and Gracie Schutz, have done a great job developing the skills of these boys. This team is working hard and looking forward to a good showing at the playoff tournament in Stoughton on November 12.
The Sr. Boys’ Volleyball team is co-hosting a tournament with Arcola on October 30th/31st. The boys have been working very hard and have improved TONS since the beginning of the season. Come out and cheer on your Cougar athletes at their home tournament!
