In Spruce Grove, Alberta last weekend as part of a 24-team tournament, the Swift Current Comp Colts senior boys' volleyball team ran into a tough test.

Against what was described as some of the best teams in western Canada by head coach Dan Andrie, the Colts went 1-and-5 in their pool, and dropped their lone playoff match.

Andrie said the losses will help focus their attention on areas of improvement as the season progresses towards a push for another medal at provincials.

The Colts are taking a weekend trip to Prince Albert Carlton's tournament this Saturday.
