M.L. Heat win provincial championship
After winning every tournament they entered this season, the Meadow Lake Heat 14 and under volleyball club added to their trophy count by winning the Conexus Provincial Championship held April 22 to 24 in Saskatoon.
The team played and won three games previous to their match on Saturday, April 23 against the Regina Volleyball Club Hams.
“It was probably the best match we played all tournament. The defence of both teams and our passing was almost perfect. We lost the first set 24-26 and then won the second 25-20,” head coach Trent Marsh said, adding the third set was back and forth and ended in a 15-13 victory.
Playoff Sunday saw the Heat in action against Muenster. Marsh said the first set was handily won 25-17 but passing troubles put the team down early in the second set, a margin they couldn’t come back from losing 15-25.
