The Drumheller Valley Secondary School Dynos senior girls volleyball team is coming off a busy schedule and looking to regroup for the second half of their season.
Overall, the relatively young team has come a long way since its first games. Head coach Dawn Sullivan felt the team’s most recent tournament, at Rundle College in Calgary, demonstrated the team’s potential.
The Drumheller Valley Secondary School Dynos senior girls volleyball team has had a busy schedule on the road over the past two weeks. The team is now enjoying a mid-season break, though practicing hard for their return to the court. They head back on the road on October 16 and the following weekend, and return home on October 21.
“There were times over the weekend where they were playing some really good volleyball. They just have to keep working and doing their best on the court,” said Sullivan.
“They played the best they have all season. Some of the coaches whose teams we played earlier this season were commenting on how much we’ve improved.”
The Dynos won one of six games in the tournament.
Last Wednesday, the Dynos were at home in the DVSS gym for league play against Three Hills. There were a few strong rallies and plays by the Dynos, but they couldn’t keep up to Three Hills and lost two matches to none.
The Dynos have a break this week from league play and tournaments, and will be practicing for the final stretch of the season.
The Dynos will be back in action on the road on October 16 and then a tournament over the weekend of October 19. They return home on October 21 for their second last home game of the season.
“There are still a few issues, but they’re coming along,” said Sullivan. “They’re a great group of girls. They have fun and as long as they keep doing their best, that’s all you can ask from them.”
