ATHLETICS
Over the weekend the Junior Volleyball Stingers competed at the Spectrum tournament. They started strong with wins over Belmont and Claremont B, then losing a nail biter in the 3rd game to Vic High. This put the team in 2nd place for the Tier 1 playoffs. Unfortunately in the first round of the playoffs the Stingers were defeated by Reynolds, but finished strong by winning their next 2 rounds against SMU and Highland, placing 5th overall at the tournament. Great effort team!
Good luck to our Junior Boys Soccer team who have made it to the Tier 2 Finals, playing their last game of the season today at Centennial Park against GNS. Come out after school to show your support and cheer them on!
Any girls interested in playing basketball this year are asked to attend an open gym on Tuesday at 5:15.
