Walnut Grove Gators captain Sarah Jadis bumps the ball during the Fraser Valley seniors girls 4A Fraser Valley volleyball championships against Port Moody at Elgin Park Secondary on Nov. 14. The Gators finished sixth.

The wild-card round was kind to one Langley high school but not for the other as a pair of senior girls volleyball teams attempted to qualify for their respective provincial championships.

The Credo Christian Kodiaks senior girls volleyball won a three-team qualifier last week to earn the final berth to the B.C. 1A provincial championships in Castlegar, which run Dec. 3 to 5.

The Kodiaks were on Vancouver Island at Duncan Christian last week (Nov. 25) for the three-team playoff,defeating both Aspengrove and Stratford Hall to advance.

Credo earned a spot at the qualifier after winning bronze at the Fraser Valley championships.

The Walnut Grove Gators senior girls were also hoping to earn a wild-card berth to the upcoming B.C. 4A provincial tournament.

But those dreams were quashed by Burnaby’s Moscrop Panthers on Saturday as the two teams battled for the one remaining berth.

The Gators had finished sixth at the Fraser Valley championships. The team entered the championship seeded ninth but knocked off a couple of higher seeds along the way.
