NBCHS Senior Girls Vikings charge into provincials
The North Battleford Central High School (NBCHS) Vikings Senior Girls volleyball team are coming off a win at the 5A Girls Regionals last weekend and are now off to provincials this weekend, aiming for continued success.
With two pools of four, the girls from NBCHS played three games in the round robin at the regional tournament, refusing to drop a single set, going undefeated through their three games to clinch a bye in the first round of the playoffs.
In the semifinals, the Vikings played P.A. Carlton, where they were handed their first bout of adversity, dropping their first set, before storming back in the ensuing two to take the matchup and move on to the finals against P.A. St. Mary. In their faceoff against St. Mary, the girls once again claimed victory in straight sets, clinching the tournament.
With a 64-6 record on the season, coach Jana Friedenstab said the team has already had some big game experience to draw back on, with many of the students playing on her club team in addition to the high school squad.
