Sr. Volleyball: LMISSAA Champs!

LMISSAA Champions

A HUGE CONGRATS to the Sr. Volleyball team and coaches! For the first time ever, the senior team clinched the LMISSAA trophy with a 3-0 demolition of LFA. The Finals MVP was Michelle, Siobhan and Laura were League All-Stars and Emma was Team MVP.

Before advancing to the league championships, the girls beat STM in 5 (15-3 in the 5th with some huge clutch serves from Caitlin and some excellent defense from two Gr. 10s, Alex and Michelle).

The girls played the best volleyball we’ve seen from them this year, and quite possibly the best volleyball ever from a YHS team. There was some great defense on LFA big hitters, some great defense plays and the typical spectacular offense. Beating undefeated LFA 3-0 was impressive, but most impressive was the smiles, the positive energy and the fun the girls were having.

The team competes in the AA Lower Mainlands on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon.

The Sr. Volleyball team also recently took home the Spartan Cup from the 2013 Western Canadian Ind. School Volleyball Championships and decisively won their second straight ISA Trophy. Read about that here.

Tigers Update: Swimming & Gr. 8 Volleyball

Last Wednesday, our water-loving Tigers headed to the Vancouver-Richmond Zone Championships. Despite a slow start, our Tigers came from behind to win the Girls’ side. This puts the Zone Champions streak to 7. From the meet, 12 swimmers qualified for the Provincial Championships (Nov 15-16) in 7 relay and 4 individual events.

On the volleyball court, our Grade 8 Tigers earned a bronze at the ISAs. The team lost a tough match to a very tall Southridge team in the semi-finals, but went on to beat Crofton House in a nail biter of a third set. Both Coaches, Mr. Bester and Ms. Baldiserra are so proud of the team for their amazing effort over the season. Playoffs start this Tuesday after school at LFA (4PM start).
