Bio
Boston Pizza RDP Athlete of the Week for March 10, 2025
Colby Nemeth, a six-foot-five power hitter, has been instrumental in the success of the Red Deer Polytechnic Kings Volleyball team this season. Nemeth contributed on both sides of the net, helping to guide the Kings to gold at the 2025 Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Men’s Volleyball National Championship in Niverville, Manitoba. The victory was the Kings’ 14th CCAA National Championship.
In Wednesday’s quarter-final, Nemeth and the Kings defeated the host Providence Pilots in straight sets (25-23, 25-15 and 25-21). The talented fourth-year student-athlete recorded a game-high 13 kills (0.259), along with two service aces, one assist, one block and one dig.
In the semi-finals, the RDP Kings swept the Humber Hawks (26-24, 25-23 and 25-10). Once again, Red Deer’s Nemeth, the Kings Player of the Match, led both teams in kills (12). He added seven digs, four aces, one assist and one block.
The Red Deer Polytechnic Kings cruised past the Douglas Royals in three sets for CCAA gold (25-19, 25-17 and 25-18). Nemeth led the Kings with nine kills (0.353). He tacked on three aces, one dig and one assist.
Nemeth was named CCAA Men’s Volleyball Championship MVP and an All-Canadian.
Congratulations!
The Gutter RDP Athlete of the Week for January 15, 2024
Outside-hitter Colby Nemeth and the Kings earned two huge victories this past weekend as they defeated the top two teams in the North Division. On Saturday evening, RDP welcomed the Keyano College Huskies to town for a rematch of one of last year’s championship semi-final matches. The Kings fell down 2-1 in the match but stormed back to take the last two sets and win the match in five. Nemeth was a key component to his team’s victory this past weekend as he led the offence with 19 kills which were a season-high for him. He was later named the Kings player of the match.
A day later, the Polytechnic managed to knock off the Lakeland College Rustlers in four sets. The Rustlers came into the match as the number two seed in the North Division. For the second consecutive night, Nemeth led the offence with 16 kills. Coming into these two matches, Nemeth was averaging just eight kills per match with an average of 2.4 kills per set which makes these two of his best offensive matches this season.
In the 12 matches he has played, the Red Deer native has 111 total kills and 18 service aces.
The Kings will host the Medicine Hat College Rattlers for a two-game set at home this weekend. Both matches on Friday and Saturday will start 20 minutes following the Queens match which starts at 6 pm on Friday and 1 pm on Saturday.
Congratulations Nemeth and we look forward to seeing you continue your offensive game in the weeks to come!
