The weather didn't cooperate as there was snow on the ground and it was very windy. Mercedes Tremblay, Breanna Codd and Dustin Huebert braved the cold and did very well. We hosted a Junior High Volleyball tournament at Tofield School on: Saturday, October 13. Participating teams were: OLMP (Camrose), Viking, Round Hill and Tofield. It was a Boys and Girls’ Tournament. Our girls finished first after the round robin and ended up making it to the finals, but lost to OLMP. It was unfortunate that one of the grade 9 girls from Tofield ended up spraining her ankle right before the finals. Senior HIgh Volleyball Result Tofield Girls are 0-2 Tofield Boys are 1-1.
