Coaches Terry Baker and Brad McKay praised the Senior Boys volleyball team after an undefeated season opener in Grande Prairie on Sept. 26. The squad swept round robin play 15-2 and 15-4 against Beaverlodge and 15-0 15 Valleyview, then defeated Spirit River and Grande Prairie Comp in straight sets, with a final over Pineran. The team slated four upcoming tournaments from Oct. 9 to Nov. 14, including the North Central Single A Senior Boys Tournament in Chetwynd, and urged fan attendance.
Coach T Baker announced Chetwynd will host the zone volleyball playoffs drawing up to 22 teams and about 220 players from towns including Lytton Smithers Valemont and Fort Nelson. He noted Prince George teams showed little interest this year and promised strong community support and publicity to back the event. The Chetwynd squad finished second at last year’s Prince George championship and aims to repeat or improve this year.
