The Twin Lakes Secondary School seniors boys' volleyball team won the Georgian Bay Secondary School Association (GBSSA) championship in Huntsville last Thursday, qualifying them for OFSAA later this week.

The GBSSA finale against Huntsville High was an intense, on-the-edge-of-your-seat game with the gym packed with fans. It was a back-and-forth battle all the way to the end with several lead changes.

Huntsville took the first set; Twin won the second and third sets. The fourth set looked like Twin was going to win, but Huntsville dug deep to win the set 28-26!

In the fifth and final set, the first team to 15 points would be GB champs. Teams switched ends at halfway and the score was 8-7 for Twin. The score was 14-13 for Twin as Sullivan Macdonald served to win the set and the game!

The boys showed grit, skill, passion, teamwork, and character making coaches, parents, and fans proud of the team.  

Outstanding passing by Reece Boyle, setting by Spencer Corston, and attacks by Sullivan Macdonald and Michael Harper helped to secure this championship.

The Twin Lakes team had first faced off against Bracebridge in the semi-final game. They lost the first set but rallied back to win it in four.

The other semi-final game saw Huntsville beat St Joe' s (Barrie) in three sets.

Twin Lakes secured their spot on the GB tournament when they beat Nottawasaga Pines in the SCAA championship.

Team members include: Reece Boyle, TJ Carter, Spencer Corston, Connor Dyball, Owen Davey, Michael Harper, Rein Keppo, Brogan Long, Sullivan Macdonald, Owen Sanke, Garret Sharpe, Trent Sweet, and Erik Vurma. Coaches - Andrew Corry and Jenna Weick.
