October 31st was a night that the Sr. Boys and Sr. Girls Volleyball teams would have their final league games at Unity Christian School. The Sr. Girls played well against a very strong team from Unity, and the young team from Highroad could not overcome the flames and ended up losing the match in three sets. Coach Kayla Grimard was encouraged by the way her team played despite the loss and is looking forward to their game on Monday Night against SJB at Highroad (6 pm Start) for an opening round playoff game. With a win against SJB, the girls can continue on to play with a game against Credo for a spot in the EVAA championships.
Next the boys took the court, in a game where a birth to provincials was on the line. The knights started off strong taking the first set 25-18. After loosing the next two sets, they continued to play well and battled back to take the fourth set and push the match into a fifth and deciding set. After a strong start to the set, the boys soon found themselves with a 14 to 11 lead and a chance to win the match, however it was not to be. The Flames fought back and took the final set 16 to 14. It was a hard loss for the knights, but not the end of the road. Next week they will play a challenge game against a team from the Sea to Sky Corridor for the final birth to provincials and a chance to extend their season. Game location, time and date are yet to be determined.
