Rams settle for silver in COSSA junior volleyball

The Kenner Rams junior boys volleyball team earned silver medals at the COSSA A championships on home court on Thursday afternoon.

The Rams fell 3-1 in the final to Quinte Christian. Kenner defeated Nicholson 3-1 in semifinals.

Kenner coach Jeff Stover said his team was relatively inexperienced but got stronger as the season progressed.

“We were a steadily improving team and really peaked at the right time,” Stover said.

“We held our own against AA and AAA teams. Really, they played probably the best I’ve seen them play in the final. We were a little sluggish in the semifinal.

“I was really happy with the balanced attack we had which we didn’t have during the season. We were attacking from the left side and right side and middle. We were blocking balls, too. It was the highlight of our season.”

The COSSA A senior boys volleyball tournament was hosted by Lindsay’s St. Thomas Aquinas. Kenner placed third defeating St. Thomas Aquinas 2-1 in the consolation match after losing their semifinal 3-1 to Quinte Christian.
