The Niverville Varsity Girls are having an outstanding volleyball season. They are currently ranked 4th in 1A and are headed to Russell, Manitoba for Provincials from November 26–28.
The team has posted a record of 34–6 in matches played this year, including winning 4 of the 6 tournaments they entered and finishing 8–2 in their zone, which is highly competitive. They were able to beat Grunthal, their rival, at home this year. On November 13, they won their regional playdowns to advance to Provincials.
The team has 6 Grade 12 players on the team (Kyla Fast, Shelby Verrier, Sam Schmidt, Bryanne Tottle, Alexandra Friesen, and Jordyn Olafson), 4 students from Grade 11 (Megan Sawatzky, Cristal Falk, Danae Ruchkall, and Sarah Lindsey), and 1 player from Grade 9 (Julia Beer).
Jordyn Olafson and Kyla Fast were selected for the graduating all-star team, which is selected from all the A, AA, and AAA teams in Manitoba. As a coach, I am extremely proud of what this group has accomplished this year and look forward to seeing them compete at Provincials.
