A weekend full of volleyball was held at H.J. Cody and Fox Run School as Sylvan Lake hosted the 3A Girls Provincial Championships.

The H.J. Cody Lakers participated in the provincial playoffs after placing first in Zones the weekend before.

The Lakers faced tough competition from across the province.

The team played in five games to decide who would move on to the playoff for the championship game.

Despite a strong start in the first game against the Bowness Trojans, where the Lakers won two sets to zero, the Lakers finished the round robin tournament in fifth place. The Lakers only won one game during the tournament.

The Lakers lost to St. Joesph from Grande Prairie; two sets to zero, Edmonton Christian; two sets to one, Strathmore; two sets to one, and to Eagle Butte two sets to zero.

St. Joseph finished the round robin portion in first place in Pool A.

In the end St. Joseph Catholic went all the way to the finals and won the gold medal and provincial championship title. St. Joesph played Cochrane High School, who finished first in Pool B of the round robin, in the final game.

Lethbridge Collegiate Institute finished in third place in the province.
