With Hall’s fall sports season in full swing, last week was jam-packed with exciting games.
The varsity girls’ field hockey team had a match against their Brampton rivals Turner Fenton Oct. 7. The girls came out with yet another 0-0 tie. The girls played 98 per cent of the game in Fenton’s offensive zone, but just could not find the back of the net.
The girls had a second game Oct. 10th against the Mayfield Mavericks. They played to the same result, a 0-0 tie.
Of the four games the Wolfpack have played this season, their record is three ties and one loss. Coach Devo said “if the girls want to make it on to the ROPSSAA finals, they need to learn how to put the ball in the back of the net!”
Congratulations to Amanda McFadden on earning player of the game honours verses Turner Fenton and to Shona Scott for earning the honours against Mayfield.
The junior girls’ basketball team travelled to Castlebrook’s home court to play. After a very tough loss the previous week, the girls improved tremendously, losing by only eight points, compared to the previous 46-point punishment. The girls held their own, making it a close game and losing 28-20. The coaches are proud to report that the girls have improved a great deal and are starting to play more like a team.
“Defence is our most improved attribute since last game,” stated Coach Burgess.
This game was a huge confidence builder for the girls who now look forward to their next game where they will show their skills and come out on top.
The varsity boys’ football team travelled to the den of the Humberview Huskies Oct. 8 and came out with a hard-earned victory. The boys were hungry to beat their rivals scoring two touchdowns, two converts, and a field goal winning 17-7. The Wolfpack went into halftime with a lead of 7-1 thanks to the defence shutting down every one of Humberview’s opportunities. Hall players wore the Huskies down, letting them score only one touchdown then the Wolfpack upped their points score by getting another touchdown, followed by a field goal.
Congrats to Aidan Kirkham for an amazing interception, earning him player of the game honours on defence, and Evan Kumer, who had a 40-yard run to set the Pack up for a touchdown and earning player of the game honours on offence.
The Wolfpack varsity girls’ flag football team also brought home a win verses the Mayfield Mavericks Oct. 8. The girls did not allow the Mavericks to enter their end zone, playing a very strong defensive game, winning 13-0.
The girls are working hard together as a team and proving that they belong in the Tier 1 flag football league. Touchdowns were tallied early by Lindsey Smith and Brittney Gout, catching the Mavericks off guard and holding the lead for the entire game. Congrats to rookie Mariya Horobets for playing a sound defensive game and earning player of the game honours. We look forward to their next home game against Holy Name of Mary, where the girls can once again demonstrate their skills.
Sadly, the varsity boys’ volleyball team are not having a great start to their season.
The boys suffered a tough loss against the Humberview Huskies, keeping it close with scores of 25-18 for Humberview in the first set, 26-24 for Hall in the second set and 25-19 for Humberview in the third set. Coaches are proud to see improvement from last game, but would enjoy seeing wins as well. Congratulations to Brayden Davis yet again for getting player of the game honours two weeks in a row. We look forward to seeing the boys play at home verses Cardinal Ambrozic.
