On March 8-12 we, the CBC men's volleyball team, made our way to Sherbrooke, Quebec to compete in the 2011 CCAA National Championship. We came into the tournament as the #6 seed, but also as a team with a goal - to win a national championship. In the quarter-finals we faced the home team, the Sherbrooke Volontaires, the #3 seed, and beat them in 3 straight sets. Next up, in the semi-finals, was the Briercrest Clippers, the #2 seed and a team that we had wanted to play all year. While the game was a tight one, we came out victorious 3 sets to 2. And just like that, we found ourselves heading to the national championship final only to face the UBCO Heat, the #1 seed; a team whom we had yet to beat (0-3). It was a provincial final re-match. It was a great match, with big hits, big blocks, and high scores. And after a 3 game sweep we, Columbia Bible College, were national champions! What a great end to a great season. I am so proud of my team!
The boys clean up nice. All dressed up for the All-Canadian Banquet.

What a pleasure to win a national championship with Dan. How many brothers get to do that?
