This highlight tournament pitted Ravage against 27 other teams from across the province in a gruelling three day competition which featured some top-notch volleyball. Throughout the tournament Ravage demonstrated the depth of their team and their program with all team members contributing in multiple ways throughout the weekend. The boys truly rallied together, showing how much of a team they were, spelling each other off for a mental break, a passing formation change or a specialty serve. This championship was the end result of the work of ten dedicated, focused and united young men, who truly demonstrated what it meant to be a team, with each individual playing a crucial part. Without each of these individual pieces of the puzzle, this championship may not have been possible. More
