Less than a year ago, the Horizon Aigles and Confederation Chargers met to determine the SDSSAA Senior Girls Volleyball champions.

Based on results this past weekend from the Chelmsford Flyers NOSSA Warm-Up Tournament, expect both teams to be right back in the mix as both of the Valley schools had reason to cheer Saturday afternoon.

In senior play, the Chargers survived a tough pool that also included the Lockerby Vikings and Korah Colts, winning six straight sets and working their way to the finals with victories over both the Champlain Requins and Lasalle Lancers before reuniting with the Colts, getting the better of the Sault Ste Marie reps for a second straight time, 25-12, 25-10.

The defending city champs boast a 3-1 record to date in league play, their only loss coming at the hands of the Aigles. The roster for the 2022-2023 Confederation squad features Kayla Bouffard, Danika Chenier, Alexie Chicoine, Hannah Crane, Emma Harris, Madison Roy, Emily Robidoux, Georgia Wilson, Danica Fleming, Ashley Ruddick, Marley Tremblay and Rylee Thompson.

In the junior ranks, it was a rematch of the city final that we led with as the Horizon and Confederation juniors went the distance, the Aigles prevailing 25-20, 24-26, 25-11.

Coach Guy Perreault and his team took five of six sets on Friday, dropping one to Champlain, then disposing of the St Benedict Bears, Lasalle Lancers and the St Mary's Knights before knocking off the Chargers.

Undefeated and atop the junior Division standings at 5-0 (Lo-Ellen is one game back at 4-0), the Horizon juniors bring together the collection of talent that is Camille Barr, Isabella Deschenes, Maya Flores, Arianne Lamontagne, Marie-Eve Lemieux, Jasmine Mills, Madison Paris, Kalia Pharand, Ellie Renaud, Isabelle Renaud, Janelle Richer and Selena Sauvé.
