By Scott Savard Grasslands News

Melville Comprehensive School (MCS) held its annual volleyball tournament on Sept. 20 and 21 at MCS. While they weren’t able to compete in the medal rounds, they put up a fight and have grown since the first tournament. Doug Severson, coach of the girls’ volleyball, had a chat with the ladies on Sept. 23 at practice and the team feels like they need to work on some small things. “We started out playing against Yorkton and Kipling, SCOTT SAVARD | MELVILLE ADVANCE two teams that were in the Bump, set,s spike playoffs.
