        The Â鶹ÊÓƵeast Vipers Volleyball Club attended a tournament in Regina on April 9-10. Hosted by the Cougars Volleyball Club it included high quality teams and a lot of good battles.
               The girls began the day with a game versus Weyburn, which the Vipers earned a win in. The girls then took on Oxbow, but were unable to contain them, which led to a win for Oxbow. Next up the girls played against the QCVC Blackouts and were able to pull out another win. Their fourth and final game of the day was up against the QCVC Royal team who were ranked second in the tourney going in. The girls battled hard but again lost in a close one.
               Finishing third in their pool they would play the Redcoat Rebels in the morning on Sunday, April 10. The match went to three and was a battle all the way through with great plays on both sides, but the Rebels ended up reaching 15 first. The girls were off to take on Swift Current in the fifth place match. Again the girls headed to three, but Swift Current had momentum entering the third and took the win.
               The Vipers finished sixth, but learned a lot and are determined to come out strong at their next tournament which will be in Weyburn on April 23-24 before provincials in Saskatoon on April 30 to May 1.
               Congratulations to Oxbow who won gold at the tournament and to the Rebels who lost to Oxbow in the final. Volleyball in southeast Saskatchewan is strong with three skilled teams coming out of the area.
