Lindsay Thurber Raiders girl’s senior volleyball spike a gold medal at Provincial Championships
The Lindsay Thurber Raiders spiked a gold medal at the Alberta Schools’ Athletic Association (ASAA) senior women’s volleyball Provincial Championships on home turf last weekend and have made it clear; their team spirit will be carried beyond the court.
From Nov. 25-27, the Raiders started provincials on a rough note, in second to last place.
Quickly catching up to speed, the girls were facing Calgary’s William Aberhart in the semi-finals, winning in two sets. At finals against the Calgary’s Bowness Trojans, the Raiders won the first set 25-19, and brought the game to a finish with a score of 25-20 in the second set.
For Coach Kirsten DeZutter, the best score of the game wasn’t the winning point, but simply being at the championships at all, after a one year hiatus caused by the pandemic.
