Come cheer on our boy’s volleyball team as they made it the district finals at Garibaldi Secondary on Wednesday, November 29th. They are scheduled to play at 3:15pm versus Alouette. The result of that game will determine their game time for the last game of the season, either 5pm for the bronze game or 5:45 for the gold medal game (times approximate). Good luck All Stars!
