It was a really good tournament, a really good game,” said Bergerman.

Lucky Lake-Beechy-Kyle placed first with a 5-1 set record after the round robin which consisted of two-set matches among the teams, who also included the Eaton Spartans and Biggar Blazers.

In their round-robin match, the Royals won the first set 27-25 and lost the second 25-19.

The host team, who went 5-1 for second, defeated the 2-4, third-place Blazers in a semifinal 25-19, 25-17. The Spartans went 0-6.

The Royals included “a lot of Grade 12s, so it was nice for them,” said Bergerman.
