SHS Junior Golden Eagles Volleyballers remain undefeated, win KASSAA in a walk

Jeff Green | Apr 06, 2022

To say that the Junior Golden Eagles Girls volleyballers were dominant among the teams in the Kingston Area Secondary Schools Athletic Association (KASSAA) this year would be an understatement.

The team got off to a good start, but improved from there. They lost only one set in each of their first two matches of the season, beating Frontenac SS and Marie Riviere 3 sets to 1 back in December of 2021. When the season picked up again in early February, the team really hit its stride. After beating Holy Cross 3-1 to start the second half of the season, they won the rest of their games in the regular season without dropping a single set, sweeping Ernestown, Kingston Secondary, Lasalle, Bayridge, Napanee, Granite Ridge, Loyalist, and Regiopolis in the process.

The playoffs were much the same story. They defeated Regioplis 3-0 in the quarters, Loyalist 3-0 in the semis, and Kingston Secondary in the finals, again by a 3-0 score.

During the regular season they won, 33 of 36 sets that they played, including the final 24 sets, and then one all 9 sets in the playoffs, a streak of 33 sets in a row between February 15 and March 31st.

Not a bad season for the team, and coach Bryan English.
