ESTEVAN - The Estevan Extreme U18 male volleyball club finished fifth in Division 2, Tier 1, at the recent provincial championship in Saskatoon.
Estevan went 2-2 in the round robin and finished in a tie for second spot in their pool, and were awarded second on a tiebreaker based on a head-to-head matchup. Three of their four matches went to three sets.
After falling 2-0 (25-22, 25-13) to the BVC Lightning, Estevan recovered to defeat the Lloydminster Rustlers 17U 2-0 (25-16, 25-21) to finish fifth.
It was also the final game of youth volleyball for the Extreme’s graduating players: Tanyan Strudwick, Logan Skuce, Michael Meshke, Devin Elford, Justin Linthicum and Brayden Hall.
The players on the U18 club were part of the first male volleyball team in the Extreme’s history. Neal Linthicum has been their coach since they first started playing together.
