The weekend of the 29-30 of April was high in emotion for our boys’ team. Without having the chance to practice all together before the event, we faced what was probably the toughest pool of the competition on the first day. First up, Sherbrooke! The first ranked team at the tournament.
The guys battled hard, but the opponent was just too strong as six of their players were division 1 college athletes, a team that finished 2nd in Canada. For our three next games, the guys held up their end, but just fell short. Winless in our first day of competition, the boys stayed focus and ready to compete. And we felt they were getting better each game they played. On Sunday, the team went 3-0, even beating Trois-Rivière in our last game, a team that we lost too on Saturday, clinching the 10th position. After a tight first set that we lost, we came back from a 13-19 deficit to push the game to a tie-break. We finished of the game with a 15-11 win in the third set.
We made history on that day, not only by winning our first game ever at a provincial, but also finishing in a top 10 position. Future looks bright Nunavik. So proud of these boys!
