The provincial high school volleyball championships are coming up this weekend, and will include strong representation from Prince Albert.

Following successful outings this past weekend at Regionals, both Carlton teams advanced, as well as the girls’ team from St. Mary.

This year, as the 5A provincial championships are in the South, then South Rural has three representatives, Regina District has three representatives, North Rural has two representatives, and Saskatoon District has two representatives.

The Prince Albert and Carlton girls’ teams competed on Saturday in North Battleford. Both finished with records of 3-1, but due to the respective teams they won or lost to, Carlton finished first.
