The Drumheller Valley Secondary Dynos senior girls volleyball team was in Calgary once again this past weekend at a tournament at West Island College.
The Dynos were ousted in the semi-finals by a mere five points.
“We made it to the semi-finals. It went to the third game, but we lost 15-10,” said head coach Dawn Sullivan.
The tournament was held over Friday and Saturday, and saw each of the five teams play 13 matches in total. The Dynos were up against teams from West Island College, Banff, Invermere, and Whitecourt.
Overall, the team played well, but still have room to improve according to Sullivan.
“We had five games in the tournament where we lost by five or fewer points,” said Sullivan. “They were quite entertaining games at times, where there was some pretty good action. At times they had a very good attack and we made quite a few blocks. The blocking and attack is coming along, but we just have to work on consistency. They lose their focus for a bit and then have to dig themselves out.”
The volleyball season is at the half way point and the team will be working on being at their best for zones on November 16 and 17.
“We’re about half way through the season. We’re still working on consistency, so hopefully we’ll peak and be playing our best around Zones. Every time we go on the court we’re seeing improvement,” said Sullivan.
The road to zones continues tonight when the Dynos hit the road to take on Trochu. Afterwards, the Dynos will head to Olds for another tournament on October 26 and 27.
