The Carman Collegiate Cougar JV Boys Volleyball team captured the MHSAA Provincial AA title on Saturday, November 26. After finishing 4th in round robin action, the Cougars faced the number one ranked Steinbach Christian Flames in the quarter finals. After dropping the first game, the boys came back to win in three (17-25, 25-14, 15-4). The semi final saw them face their Zone IV rivals, the St. Paul's Barons from Elie. After dropping their first game, the boys scrapped back to capture the match with a gutsy three set win (18-25, 25-22, 15-13). The boys, with the win, advanced to the final against Rossburn Collegiate. Once again, the boys dropped the first game, and were on the verge of elimination in game two, but battled back from being down 24-18 to win game two. The boys continued to fight and finally won (22-25, 31-29, 15-11) Carman Collegiate's first JV Boys Volleyball championship. Over the last 5 years, the JV Boys program has captured a silver in 2012, a bronze in 2014, and now gold in 2016. Matt L and Kevin D were named tournament all stars, and Cam D was named the tournament MVP. Congratulations to the team and to coach James Ballantyne on a great season.
