Photos and Text by Robert Thomas

The Central Cyclones junior boys volleyball team defeated the visiting Briercrest Christian Academy Cougars in three straight sets on Monday evening.

The scores of the three sets were 25 - 21, 25 - 20 and 25 - 15 all in favour of the Cyclones to win the best of five sets match.

Despite losing three straight matches the Cougars fought hard digging their claws in especially in the first set where the lead see sawed back and forth.

The Cyclones were able to capitalize deep in the Cougars back row with power serves.

The Cyclones were strong on many serves forcing the Cougars into recovery mode in the pass to return the serve.

The subsequent return often was out of bounds or the Cyclones were able to capitalize when they set up the reply.

During the second set the teams battled back and forth for a point for close to a minute.

The Cougars were strong at the net although on several occasions they lost the point by stepping over the line or holding the ball giving up the point.

We decided to dispense with the post game interviews but go with lots of photos of the match.
