The senior boys and senior girls MUCC Comets volleyball teams both placed in the top ten at their tournaments on September 20 and 21. The senior girls Comets were at Prince Albert St. Marys and played well despite a tenth place finish The Girls played some really good games. But consistency on serve receive needs to be improved on, Comets coach Rob Moore said. They opened round robin play by defeating the host St. Marys 25 16, 24 26 on Friday afternoons. The Comets then split with North Battleford Comprehensive 16-25, 25 15. They lost their next round robin game 23- 25, 11-25 to Saskatoon Holy Cross. Later on Saturday they lost to Meath Park 23 -25, 28 -26, 14-16. In their next round robin game they fell to Prince Albert Rivier (21- 25, 20 25. The Comets lost their final round robin game to Rosetown 25 23, 17 -25, 15 11. The senior boys Comets placed sixth at the University of Saskatchewan tournament. Every year, the U of S puts on a volleyball tournament for high schools as a way of seeing what kind of talent there is to potentially come their way, Comets coach Graham Calow said. Placing sixth out of 24 teams is considered a successful weekend for us, he added. The 24 team tournament is broken into pools of six where teams compete to see who ends up in either A, B, or C playoffs. The Comets placed second in their pool with a record of 4-1, only falling to Prince Albert Carlton and headed to the A side playoffs. The Comets played well but lost to Prince Albert St. Marys to fall to the consolation side. The Comets defeated Saskatoon Marion Graham to advance to the consolation final where they lost to Valley Christian Academy (Osler). This was our seventh match of the weekend, and the players seemed a little out of gas. It was a very well played tournament, but we just didnt have enough to pull off one more win, Calow explained. On September 26 and 27 the senior girls are at Luther in Regina, while the boys have a bye week and return to action on October 3 and 4 at Regina Winston Knoll.
