Coach Everton Senior, when asked about Loyalist’s tactics, responded with wisdom honed through countless battles on the volleyball court.

“It’s not merely about what they did; it’s about what we didn’t do. We couldn’t find that elusive spark, that synchronicity that defines our best moments. We showed tremendous promise in the first set, despite a few missed serves. But as the game progressed, it was as if our engines ran out of steam,” he said.

On the other side of the net, coach Ryan Stoness of Loyalist shed light on the lessons learned in this epic clash. He offered respect and acknowledgment to both teams.

“In every contest, there are lessons to be learned. In previous games, we’ve known what it’s like to start off slow, losing the first set. Credit to our team for staying the course and striving for their best. They exhibited exceptional resilience, particularly in the second set. In volleyball, momentum swings can be unforgiving, and it’s not always easy to bounce back. Algonquin played an outstanding match, and it was a true testament to the spirit of the game,” Stoness said.
