On April 18 the Varsity boy’s volleyball team will take part in their first tournament held at Fort Zumwalt South.


Some of the teams that will be competing at the tournament include Howell Central, CBC, Desmet, St. Mary, Fort Zumwalt West, Fort Zumwalt South, Francis Howell and Duchesne. With the tournament starting at 8 a.m., the boys will have a long day ahead of them as Prom is on the same night.
“It [Prom] won’t be a factor,” senior Luke Griesenauer said. “We will play just as well.”
At last year’s tournament, the Knights won their pool and defeated the number one team in the state; Desmet. However, when the team advanced to the playoffs they lost their first game. Now with Prom in the back of some of the players minds, the team hopes that they too will advance to the playoffs.
“I am excited,” senior captain Max Nagel said. “I am feeling another win over Desmet.”
With seven games played and four wins, the team has been practicing mostly on serving and passing in order to prepare themselves for the upcoming games. Their next game is today against Oakville. “We’re a young team,” coach Ryan Von Feldt said. “We had a lot of people gone our first game including two starters. They [the team] have a lot of ability. We did well at last years tournament, but hopefully we don’t choke in playoffs.”
