Local volleyball team plays M.L. RCMP in charity game
Meadow Lake Mounties attended a different kind of court last weekend as they played a charity volleyball game against the 16U Heat.
Organizer Randeen Wood said the March 18 game spawned from a chat she had earlier in the year with the team’s coach, Dustin Treptow.
“At the beginning of the year, he told the girls he wanted them to get out into the community and do something more than fundraise for the team,” she said. “They used to do the ‘Battle of the Badges’ hockey [game] and in talking to Sgt. [Ryan] How, I asked if they’d want to play the team and he agreed.”
After confirming members’ attendance, Wood asked Carpenter High School (CHS) principal Trevor Gerwing which cause was in need of extra funds. Wood learned the school food bank is accessed every day and the district is working on modernizing the CHS library.
