In a heart-breaking moment of Déja vu, the Cochrane High Cobras' senior girls' volleyball team suffered a nail-biting defeat in the gold-medal match at provincials, losing 19-17 in the third set to St. John Paul II on Nov. 26.

Director of the Cochrane Wolves Football Club, Scott Ansel, said with the return of the World Cup, excitement for the sport is at an all-time high and the interest among young Canadians to join soccer programs around the country is growing faster than ever.

Tristan Ripplinger scored twice, while the Gens' other goals came from Connor Stephenson, Zac Fulton, Dagan Kadlec, and Riley Hopper.

The narrow one-point defeat means that for the first time since 2011, the Cobras football players won't finish their season by hoisting the Alberta Bowl trophy.

Esther Sieben, who coaches Cochrane's senior girls' volleyball team, said the zones tourney produced her squad's best performances yet this season.

"We were getting outgunned a little bit, but we fought back big time," McNab said of the Hollywood-inspired second-half comeback.
