The Dryden junior boys volleyball team competed in their time travel tournament of the year Oct. 19 and 20, taking home a solid ninth place. The tournament was hosted by Sturgeon Heights collegiate in Winnipeg. In round robin play, Dryden played close matches against Mennonite Brethren CI, Vincent Massey, Sturgeon Heights and Selkirk. The playoff draw pitted Dryden against St. James high school, a match they won 25-18, 25-20 to take home ninth place.

Through the course of the weekend, setter Deven Trist, power hitter Kevin Woolfrey and libero Matt Wood were awarded player of the game distinctions.

It?s always nice to end the travel portion of your season on a high note,? said Coach Steve Laidlaw. ?Manitoba always provides excellent competition for the boys. The season is progressing as planned, the team is growing together and improving every day. Hopefully we will peak come NorWOSSA.?

The junior Eagles have clinched first place in NorWOSSA league play with a 6-0 record. In addition to the two remaining league games, the Eagles will host the DHS Pumpkin smash tournament October 26 and 27, featuring teams from across northwestern Ontario.
