WEYBURN - Many of the sports teams from the Weyburn Comprehensive School were busy over the weekend, including the Senior A and B girls volleyball teams taking part in a home tournament.
The Weyburn Comp Eagles Sr. A Girls hosted their home volleyball tournament over the weekend.
There were 11 teams in the tournament competing in two preliminary pools, including the WCS Sr. B team. The Sr. A Girls finished second in their preliminary pool to advance to the championship pool with the top two teams from each preliminary pool.
The Eagles finished fourth overall in the tournament, and they will continue their season this weekend in Yorkton.
The Weyburn Comp Eagles senior boys volleyball team travelled to Brandon, Man. on the Sept. 20-21 weekend to compete in the Bobcats Varsity tournament.
They played four round-robin games, winning three games and splitting one. They beat Erickson 25-14, 25-6, Crocus Plains 25-8, 25-21 and Goose Lake 25-13, 25-16.
They split with Wawanesa 25-27, 25-19, and ended up first in their pool.
The first game of the day on Saturday was a cross-over match against St. Rose, beating them 25-16, 25-17, which advanced them to top eight.
In the quarter-final game they played Dauphin and lost in three games, 25-23, 23-25, and 10-15 to end their weekend.
The WCS Jr. A girls won in their tournament in Melfort over the weekend. They finished the round robin in first place with a record of 9-1. The Jr. A girls played Naicam in the semi-finals and then beat the host Melfort in the final.
In high school football, the Comp Eagles football team boarded the bus and went up to Regina for the first regular season meeting with the Balgonie Griffins. After coming off a win versus Yorkton last week, the Eagles were hoping to continue their success into this game.
The Griffins were solid and consistent, with a strong running game and an aggressive defense that kept the Eagles out of the end zone all night.
The Eagles defense was also very tough in the game only allowing one touchdown and forcing the Griffins to four field goal attempts. Unfortunately for the Eagles, the lack of scoring punch was their downfall and the Griffins came out on top 13-0.
The next action for the 1-1 Eagles was on Tuesday versus Moose Jaw Peacock on Darold Kot Field, and then will play host again on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 1 p.m. against Swift Current.
