Then the junior boys and girls played in Norquay on Sept. 17, in Kamsack on Sept. 18, had a home game against Preeceville on Sept. 23, and were in Sturgis on Sept. 25. The junior. volleyball teams have played hard and won many of their games.
The Eagles senior girls volleyball team had a good start, placing third in the Preeceville tournament on Sept. 14, facing Preeceville, Sturgis, Quill Lake, and Ituna. Later on in September, the girls went to Foam Lake for a mini-tournament where they played Foam Lake and Wynyard. Both games were losses, but it was a great chance for all the Invermay girls to get on the court and improve their play.
