Lady Spartans show determination at zones

Senior Spartan girls volleyball coach Randy Moncks could not be more proud of his team’s performance to end off the volleyball season at zones on Nov. 14-15 in Brooks.
“At zones, there were two pools of five but this time only the top three teams advanced, where at our home tournament four teams advanced so there was less pressure on the Spartans to make the playoff round. We took Springbank, Holy Trinity from Okotoks, and Canmore to three sets, but each time lost the third set,” said Moncks.
Moncks decided to change up his game plan by shifting some stronger players up front to give opponents a different look.
“We changed our lineup around so that some our stronger girls could hit in different positions and we put one of our taller rookies into the front row to help block the oppositions offence,” said Moncks. “Overall, our offence and defense was slightly stronger. No matter how difficult our opponents were this year the Spartan senior girls always battled and gave their best effort.”
Monck added that six Grade 12s will graduate this year and next year they will probably be bringing up eight new girls to rebuild the Spartan girls senior volleyball program.
