Makwa Falcons senior boys reflect on provincial silver medal
The Makwa Sahgaiehcan Falcons senior boys’ volleyball team recently brought home a silver medal at 2A provincials in Pambrun and Ponteix, SK.
Makwa opened their tournament with straight-sets wins over Birch Hills (25-14; 25-14), Kincaid (25-22; 25-17), and Moose Jaw’s Cornerstone (25-20; 26-24) through round-robin play.
Advancing to the playoff rounds from there, the team then bested Muenster in three sets (23-25; 25-16; 15-8) of the quarterfinals, and MJ Cornerstone (25-21; 25-13) in the semis, to punch their ticket to the finals against Saskatoon Christian.
Despite the loss in the finals (25-18; 25-19), the silver medal finish can only be seen as a resounding success for the Falcons’ program, coming in their return to provincials for the first time in over a decade.
