The fact that the 91原创 Christian Lightning work so well together on the court should come as little surprise.
After all, the majority of the Lightning鈥檚 Grade 8 girls volleyball team has played together at the club level since the fourth grade.
And that cohesiveness was on full display during the district championship game on Nov. 6 at the 91原创 Events Centre.
The Lightning made quick work of the 91原创 Fundamental Titans 3-0 in the game.
鈥淭hey are a close team and an amazing group of girls,鈥� said Lisa Bontkes, who coaches the team alongside Anna Stockton.
鈥淭hey are very supportive with positive attitudes.
鈥淎nd they work hard.鈥�
Bontkes has coached the majority of the players since they were in Grade 4 while Stockton is a former LCS student.
The Lightning, who went unbeaten during league play, expected to contend for the district title. They also have a pair of second-place finishes at a couple of tournaments earlier this season.
They now set their goals on the Fraser Valley championships, which run Nov. 16 and 17 at Sands Secondary.
In the third place game, Brookswood defeated H.D. Stafford.
