In a four set match in front of an electric crowd the RND Panthers showed true grit in a come for behind victory in the OFSAA AAA Boys Volleyball Championship game.
The Panthers faced a tough squad from Sir Winston Churchill in St. Catherines, who featured to of the best hitters of the tournament. RND came out flying in the first set winning most of the rallies. However the adrenaline may have caused some serves to go long and some passes off line as RND errors were the cause of the Panthers dropping their only set of the tournament.
The experienced CATS immediately rebounded in the next set, reeling off the first 5 points and dominating the net with several monster blocks on the Bulldog hitters. The Panthers quickly drew even winning the second set 25-12.
The Panthers again burst out to a lead in the pivotal third set only to see the Churchill group climb back to even late in the set. Leading 20-19 and with serve RND played it's best volleyball of the match, where several long rallies had the crowd on it's confidently closing out the third set 25-22.
With the goal in sight the Panthers stretched out another early lead in the fourth and final set. This time it was spectacular defence that saw Panthers flying all over saving big hits from the opposition and then cashing them into back-breaking points for the Garnet and Gold.
As the final ball hit the floor the players, coaches and fans exploded onto the court. The St. Mike's gym is RND's home away from home as the Volleyball program has sealed two OFSAA gold on the hardwood.
Too many congratulations for this web site as the RND contingent enjoyed the victory and the players received their medals.
