The 18U Boys Kodiaks and 18U Girls Kodiaks Red held their last practices before they head to the Canadian Open Championships in Calgary. After a short workout the teams played a modified match on a 2.24m net. The boys were required to attack from the back row only but were allowed to block as normal. The girls led the first set until a huge block at 23-22 by the boys. The boys prevailed 26-24 and then followed with a 25-14 win.
Prior to the match Brandon Chow entertained the teams with his own trivia game, "How Well Do You Know Brando?". The winner of the game was Ethan Donison, who won the privilege of giving Brandon a new hair cut prior to nationals.

Next was a three set win in their crossover match, 25-20, 22-25, 15-6, over Powell River. The quarterfinals also went the distance. The Kodiaks ended up losing 25-23. 24-26, 8-15 to the eventual bronze medalists, Airborne. After disposing of Seaside in straight sets 25-13, 25-14, they ran into Thompson Rivers, another tough interior team, losing yet another three set match 25-23, 24-26, 9-15.

18U Kodiaks Black Capture Div 2 Bronze
The 18U Girls Kodiaks Black shook off a tough Saturday in Richmond and came back firing on all cylinders on day two. An 0-3 record in Power Pool E was good enough for a bye to the quarterfinals where they faced Ace of Hearts from the Fraser Valley. A 21-25, 25-23, 15-10 win put the Kodiaks into the top four. In the semifinals, the girls once again took on Synergy, who they had previously lost to in straight sets in pool play. This time the match went the distance with Synergy coming out on top 25-16, 20-25, 15-7. In the bronze medal match, the girls found themselves in another three set marathon, this time against home town Air Attack. They won the first set 25-22, lost the second set 12-25 and then rebounded with a 17-15 third set win, giving PGYVC it's first medal of 2015.
The 18U Kodiaks Black are coached by Hans Minck and Tara Rochon. The team consists of Amanda Bazinet, Brittany Briere, Katelyn Bryant, Catherine Chrobot, Anna Gervais, Madison Minck, Rebecca Petersen, Sydney Reimer, Brittany Rochon and Taylor Viik.
With a lot of hard work and some great coaching, the Kodiak boys teams have had a great start to the season. Two weekends ago in Kelowna, Glenn Wong's 14U Boys captured the silver medal at the 14U Okanagan Super Spike. This past weekend, the 15U Boys attended the Okanagan Super Volley and the 16U Boys, the Okanagan Super Series, both in Kelowna. The 16U Boys, coached by Linden Smith and Erik Minck, rebounded from a semi final loss and picked up the bronze. The 15U Kodiaks also had a great weekend, bringing a silver back north to PG. The boys, coached by Jay Guillet and Todd Kuc, took care of Force in straight sets in the semi final but were unable to get past a tough Focus team in the finals.
