The St. Anthony’s Saints junior A girls volleyball team have wrapped up a strong season.
The team competed in Championship night on November 5 and finished third in their league.
This comes on the heels of a strong showing at a tournament in Three Hills. There were 16 teams at the tournament and while they were not able to place, a two set win over DVSS was a moral victory for the team.
“That was a really big deal for the girls,” said coach Kayla Davies.
The team also won the Sportsmanship Award at the Christ the Redeemer Divisional tournament.
It was an exciting year for the young team, which only has one grade 9 player. The rest of the squad are in Grade 8, meaning the future of the program looks bright.
“Next year they will all be Grade 9, which is great, so hopefully they all learned a lot and we can do even better next year,” said Davies.
“They improved tremendously, I am super proud of all of them.”
The Saints won the Sportsmanship Award at the Christ the Redeemer Divisional tournament. Members of the team are (l-r) Hannah Reed, Payton Zacharuk, Kayla Finkbiner, Olivia Brisebois, Ocean Bossert, Rachel Graf, Anna McGillivray, Samantha Ptashnik and Carmanah Olbrich. Missing is Lizzy Bomford.
