Sacred Heart High School's senior boys' volleyball team hosted their home tournament on September 12-13.

The Saints team has 15 players consisting of five Grade 10's, six Grade 11's and four Grade 12's. Grade 11 student Bryan B. is already on the injured list as he was injured at Sacred Heart's football home opener breaking his elbow in game action. "He will be missed by the team as he was a starter again this year" states coach Curtis Moen.

The volleyball tournament consisted of an eight team round robin. Teams consisted of Sacred Heart, Yorkton Regional, Langenburg, Melville, Esterhazy, Hepburn, Kincaid and Humboldt. After the round robin matches MCS was in 1st, Hepburn 2nd, Kincaid 3rd, Sacred 4th, Humboldt 5th, YRHS 6th, Esterhazy 7th and Langenburg 8th. This advanced Sacred Heart to the bronze medal match facing off against Kincaid.

The Saints team had a slow start losing the first set 18-25. In the second set Sacred came out with some strong hitting early on and took the momentum to win the second set 25-19. In the third and deciding set the Saints controlled the net and easily took the match winning the bronze 15-7. In the gold match Hepburn and Melville faced off. The first set was narrowly won by Melville 25-23, but MCS took control to win the gold taking Hepburn 25-13.

"This was a great start to our season" says Moen. "We have lots of time to work on our skills, but we have a promising team this year. I would like to congratulate some of the Saints key players so far this season. New player in Grade 11, Jake J. did an excellent job passing and serving his incredible hard spin serves. Colson W. also served some rockets scoring around 10 consecutive points in a set. In the power position, Riley K cranked some hard hits scoring some big points. Creating a wall at the net was Sam L. with his big blocks. Most improved player from last year goes to Nicholas K. in the middle position who dominated the net with his tall presence being felt both by his blocks and hits."

Next game action for the Saints team is on September 19-20 as they head to the University of Regina's tournament.
