Last week was filled with action as both the boys’ and the girls’ football teams went on the road for their season openers.
In boys’ football news, the Wolf Pack varsity squad suffered a tough loss, losing to Cardinal Ambrozic last Wednesday. Having won the ROPSAA championship last year, the boys have yet to prove themselves. The Ambrozic River Hawks took an early 9-0 lead in the game. After a hard fought game, the Hall boys fell to the River Hawks 17-0.
Head Coach, Mr. Sweeney, reports the boys are progressing and he is rebuilding his team due to the loss of so many Grade 12 students from last year.
Congratulations to Aidan Balzan for earning player of the game honours and working hard out on the field. It is still early in the season and the boys have plenty of time to redeem themselves. We look forward to watching the boys’ home opener next Wednesday against the Harold Brathwaite Blizzard.
In girls’ flag football action, the Wolfpack varsity girls played Humberview Sept. 17. The team won 20-13 with no time to spare. With the game tied 13-13, quarterback Brittney Gout made a perfect pass to Kennedy Lisso with 26 seconds left. Lisso ran it into the end zone for the game-winning score.
The girls are working hard and proving themselves as this was their first game and year in a Tier 1 division. Also scoring for the team were Gout and Samantha Sterrit, both with touchdowns, while Sarah Power and Lisso contributed with single point conversions. Player of the game honors go to Nicole Northey on defense and Lisso on offence. Keep up the good work ladies.
