The Village of Delia was a busy place on Saturday, November 6 when the High School hosted an 8 team Senior Girls Volleyball tournament in their new school.
Teams from Airdrie, Drumheller, Hanna, Oyen, Duchess, Trochu, and Consort were all in attendance at the inaugural tournament in the new Delia School. The construction of Delia School was completed 5 months ahead of schedule which has allowed the school to move in early and they were keen to start hosting events right away and showcase the gym that was made possible through DSES community fundraising.
Teams were treated to a state of the art facility and the players provided some top-notch volleyball entertainment.
The final match of the night found Delia playing Drumheller (DVSS) in the gold medal game. Both teams left everything they had on the court and the fans were on the edge of their seats until the very last play. In a third set and a score of 15-13, the hometown Delia Bulldogs were the champions and won the gold medal in their first home tournament.
The bulldogs were thrilled with their victory and head coach Steve Nielsen said he could not be more proud of his girls and how hard they fought to win the gold. If you missed this tournament Delia is happy to be hosting Senior High Girls Volleyball Regionals on Friday, November 12 and Saturday, November 13.
