HTCSD Wraps Up Volleyball Season

Submitted

The Holy Trinity Catholic School Division elementary volleyball season ended last Monday with the crowning of our champions with the finals at Vanier Collegiate.

Both finals featured the league’s top two teams and those in attendance were witness to some thrilling volleyball action as both matches went the full three sets.

In the girl’s final, St. Michael Knights Blue and Our Lady of Hope Stars Burgundy both with 9-1 records took to the court.

The Knights struck first, taking the opening set with some quality serving and strong net play.

The Stars regrouped in the second set with timely hits and a strong defense to draw even. Two points separated these teams in the regular season, so it was a fitting end as the Stars took the third set 15-13 to repeat as division champions.

On the boy’s side, the unbeaten and defending champion Lions from St. Margaret’s were up against the second place St. Michael Knights Blue.

Set one was all Lions as they took an early lead and did not look back as they defeated the Knights decisively.

Set number two once again saw the Lions take control early, but the Knights found their game and were able toshift the momentum and even things up.

The third set went back and forth with the Knights eventually coming away with the 16-14 victory, denying the Lions a fourth consecutive championship.
