ESTEVAN - The Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs senior volleyball teams have taken the lead in their annual Co-op Challenge showdown with the Weyburn Comprehensive School Eagles.
The first two matches were contested on Oct. 5 at the ECS gymnasium. The Elecs opened with a 3-2 victory. Set scores were 25-22, 24-26, 25-14, 17-25 and 15-10.
The senior girls, meanwhile, overcame a slow start in which they lost the first set 14-25, but then they won the next three sets 25-16, 25-14 and 25-16.
