At the start of the season, the motto for the Titans junior girls volleyball team was 鈥榣et鈥檚 go higher.鈥�

The motto was in response to last year鈥檚 fourth-place finish at the Fraser Valley championships.

On Tuesday night, the team did just that and now the question remains, just how high can the team go?

The Titans captured the Fraser Valley championship banner, defeating South Delta 3-2 (27-25,20-25,26-24,22-25,15-12) in the final at Riverside Secondary.

91原创 Fundamental was ranked second for the tournament and will enter this weekend鈥檚 provincial championships in Richmond as the top seed.

The Fraser Valley title is the first won by any Titans sports team in the school鈥檚 short history.

Against South Delta, the Titans were up against a big hitting team which seemed to dig up every shot Fundamental sent across the net.

鈥淲e had to play a smarter game, picking spots with our hits,鈥� said coach Laura O鈥橰eilly.

鈥淭hat was the only way we were going to win.鈥�

A big reason for the victory was the play of Karah Kostomo who had 14 blocks in the match.

And when a ball did elude her grasp, her teammates were quick to back her up.

鈥淭hey dug everything up,鈥� O鈥橰eilly said.

Kostomo and Kim Bauder earned all-star awards, while Brie O鈥橰eilly, the team鈥檚 setter, was most valuable player.

The coach also singled out the play of power Hannah Beaton, saying she was worthy of an all-star selection.

The Titans nearly made it a clean sweep at the junior level, but the boys鈥� squad fell 3-2 to MEI in the final held at Heritage Park Secondary on Tuesday.

鈥淭hey were heartbroken,鈥� said coach Jan Ellison.

鈥淲e had them and our big hitter went down.鈥�

She was referring to the loss of Michael Hsu, who could not complete the match because of muscle cramping.

The Eagles took advantage of his absence to win the fourth set to force a deciding set, which they won 15-12.

The loss was the first of the season for the Titans in 30 matches.

Hsu was named to the all-star team while Stephen Hsu was picked most valuable player.

The Titans will play at the provincial championships, which begin today (Thursday) and run until Saturday at Abbotsford鈥檚 MEI Secondary. 91原创 Fundamental is seeded third in the 20-team tournament.

Also at the tournament will be 91原创 Christian, which placed fourth at Fraser Valleys. Braden Heppell was named to the all-star team.
