Marauders senior boys win third straight provincial volleyball title
Before Saturday, Evan Halyk and five of his teammates on the St. Mary Marauders senior boys volleyball team had already won two provincial championships.
But as the Grade 12 leftside player said after the Marauders won their third consecutive provincial title on Prince Albert soil Saturday, this one for him is by far the sweetest.
“To win as Grade 12’s, nothing’s compared,” said Halyk, who will graduate this year along with Kole Pazuik (setter), Nigel Weir (libero), Nigel Leach (middle) and Reece Hoegi (right side). “It feels great to win three in a row. It just feels amazing and to win it in your hometown in front of your home fans, it’s always great.”
The Marauders went undefeated through seven matches in this year’s 5A Senior Boys Volleyball Provincials hosted at Carlton and SIAST. The championship finish is not only their third in a row, but their fifth in the last seven years.
