The Dalat Boys Varsity volleyball team finished 3rd at the ISKL Invitationals last weekend, a result that left the team with mixed feelings about their performance and future prospects.

The Dalat Boys Varsity volleyball team showed both promise and room for improvement at the ISKL Invitationals held on September 27th and 28th. They competed against the top school, ISKL, and many other promising teams. The team's 3rd place finish was a respectable achievement, but it also highlighted areas needing improvement.

The tournament provided an opportunity for the team to gauge their skills against solid opponents. Unfortunately, the team fell short of their own high expectations, leading to some disappointment among players and coaches alike. “We know we can do better,” remarked one of the players.

This mixed outcome has set a reflective tone for the season ahead, especially with the ACSC tournament approaching. Although 3rd place is respectable, the team remains disappointed at their performance because 1st place was definitely in reach, but inconsistencies riddled them with unnecessary losses of points. While some worry about the inconsistencies, others are hopeful that the lessons learned will translate into stronger future performances.

Coach Trevor Riffey remains optimistic about the team despite the setback. He expressed, “Out of all the years, I believe this year we have the highest chance to win ACSC.” However, he also acknowledges the need for improvement, particularly in maintaining consistent performance throughout matches.

The team’s experience at the ISKL Invitationals is a testament to their hard work and determination, serving as both a motivator and a wake-up call. As they continue to prepare for ACSC, the Dalat Boys Varsity volleyball team is determined to work hard to not disappoint.

While there are still some doubts brewing in the team, the Dalat Boys Varsity volleyball team’s recent experiences have laid a strong foundation for a promising season. With Coach Riffey’s guidance and the team’s commitment to improvement, hopes are optimistic for Dalat’s first volleyball gold medal in ACSC.
