The Drumheller Valley Secondary School Dynos senior girls’ volleyball team was in action once again this past weekend in Strathmore.
The team came home after narrowly missing a playoff berth at the tournament.
“We missed the playoffs by one match again. A playoff berth was decided on the last match of the round robin. We played Senator Gershaw from Bow Island. Winner of the match stayed and played in the playoffs, loser of the match went home early,” said Dawn Sullivan, head coach of the Dynos. “It was a good match but unfortunately, we came up on the losing side.”
Sullivan was pleased with the performance of the team, describing it as being better than their games in Olds the previous weekend. The Dynos narrowly missed the playoffs by a few points in Olds.
In the tournaments, the Dynos have been up against some of the tougher teams around.
“We have been playing many 3A and even 4A teams which provide a higher level of play and have been very close to pulling off some upsets,” said Sullivan.
The Strathmore tournament was the final chance the team had to play competitively before regionals. This weekend, the Dynos will be going up against teams in the region to determine who will go on to zones.
“The team is pumped for regionals and know they have to place in the top six to advance to zones. If they don’t, their season is over,” said Sullivan. “The Dynos are more than capable of doing this, they just have to be ready when they step on the court and play for the full 25 points.”
