Grizzlies Update: November 13th

Posted on November 13, 2018 by Admin

Grizzlies Volleyball had a good showing this weekend, with Sr Girls finishing strong with a consolation final win in Peace River, and Jr Girls finishing 2nd at Zones in Quesnel.

Sr Girls Volleyball got off to a shaky start in pool play on Friday night. They settled in however, securing 2nd place with a 2-1 record in their pool. An unfortunate loss in their cross over game Saturday morning left them disappointed, but the girls came back fighting, winning their next 3 games to finish 9/24 and the consolation title. The girls are off to Provincials in Penticton the last week of November. Good luck Grizzlies!

Sr Boys Volleyball had a strong start on Friday night, going 3-0 and placing first in their pool. After losing their crossover match, the boys fought every point to stay alive in their first consolation match, but came up short. While it wasn’t the final outcome they were hoping for, the team was proud of how far they have come as a result of their hard work and dedication to improve. From coaches Cole Hyland and Ian Zackodnik: a huge thank you goes out to all of the PRN staff, parents, players, coaches, and tournament organizers that have made this season possible!

Jr Girls Volleyball finished their season with an impressive 2nd place finish at Zones in Quesnel. The girls started pool play on Friday night with a strong win over PGSS and a loss to Duchess Park. They secured a 2nd place finish in their pool with a win over Quesnel on Saturday morning. Playoff wins against Correlieu and College Heights put them in the final against Duchess Park. The girls came out fighting with a strong fan section cheering them on, however, they were unable to secure the W and finished 2nd. Congratulations to 1st Team All Stars Laci Jackson and Taylor Schmidt, and 2nd Team All Star AnnMarie Barrette.

Up Next: Sr Boys Soccer is off to Provincials in Vancouver next week, followed by Sr Girls Volleyball at Provincials the week after. Good luck Grizzlies!

Male Athlete of the Week: Andrew Middleton (Sr Boys Volleyball) – Over the weekend, Andrew consistently kept his cool on the court and was able to put pressure on the other teams both as a formidable wall at the net and continually being dependable to deliver a solid serve.  Andrew was able to close the gap a number of times by gaining the team points off of his serves alone. Congrats Andrew!

Female Athlete of the Week: Megan Salinas (Sr Girls Volleyball) – Megan has been hyper focused in practice, constantly working on her serve receive and passing. She really pulled through for their girls this weekend, running the back row and quarterbacking their offense. Congrats Megan!

Sports Update – Nov 5

Posted on November 7, 2018 by Admin


It was a big weekend for Jr Girl’s Volleyball as they finished 2nd in the Peace River Regional tournament, earning a spot in Zones next weekend. The girls lost to a strong Dawson Creek team in their first game on Friday, but battled back and won 3 straight games against Bert Bowes, Dr Kearney and Hudson’s Hope. They faced Bowes again on Saturday in the semi final, winning to advance to the Gold medal game for a rematch against Dawson. Despite playing hard, the girls lost in 2 sets, finishing the tournament in 2nd place. Good luck at Zones!

The Cross Country team wrapped up their season at Provincials in Nanaimo this weekend. Kenzie Chilcott finished 34th in Sr Girls with a time of 26:06, followed by Celine Quigley (88th) and Leigh Hedges (103rd). Quinlan Snider finished 135th in Sr Boys with a time of 22:04.

Up Next: Senior Boys and Girls Volleyball are in Peace River this weekend. This will be the last tournament of the season for the boys and the last test for the girls before Provincials. Jr Girls are in Quesnel to take on some of the best teams in BC. Good luck Grizzlies!


Male Athlete of the Week: Quinlan Snider (Cross Country) Despite racing a tough race on a tough course, Quinlan did his best to leave it all out there and finished in the middle of the pack against the best runners in the province. Congrats on a great season and a great race Quin!

Female Athlete of the Week: AnneMarie Barrette (Jr Girls Volleyball) Annie stepped up in a huge way for the team this weekend. Despite battling some lower body injuries, she powered through for the team and played a key role in boosting morale. She also showed her skills with some huge hits from the left side and very consistent passing.
