First Regional Berth Since 2019 for Rosetown Royals

First time since 2019

The Rosetown Central High senior boys volleyball team advanced to regional playoffs in Outlook last Saturday on the basis of their third-place finish at conference playoffs here on Nov. 8.

Four teams advance to provincials from the six-team regional playoffs, said Royals coach Dana Bergerman.

Regina Christian School, one of the teams at the regional playoffs, hosts 3A playoffs this weekend.

Teams from Clavet, who won in Outlook on Nov. 8; Briercrest Christian Academy and Lavel, also of Regina, and the host Blues were to play in regionals last Saturday.

The Clavet Cougars and Regina Christian School were both in the Royals pool, “so it will be a tough go,” said Bergerman earlier last week.

The Royals have advanced past conference playoffs for only the second time in the past 10 years, the last time being in 2019, when they got as far as provincial playoffs, she said.

Bowling

The team of Macy Wick, Ellie Main and Beau Wick won the junior category of the Trio Challenge north provincial tournament on Nov. 2 in Biggar, said Penny Andersen of the local alley.

That same day, Sawyer Heimbecker, Preston Smith Wright and Katherine Lindridge won silver medals in that tournament’s senior category at north provincials here.

The two bantam teams “had lots of fun,” said Andersen.

In adult bowling, the first two masters tournaments were set for this past weekend in Regina, she said.

High school basketball

Practices at Rosetown Central High were to start yesterday (Monday) for the senior girls and today (Tuesday) for the junior girls. The senior boys team has a tournament in Kindersley this weekend.

All of the coaches from last season return: Ben Cressman and Mitchell Wintonyk for the senior boys team; John McPhee and Trinity Blair, the senior girls team; Krista Wenaas, the junior girls; and Melanie Nattrass, the junior boys.
