ATHLETICS

What a week! Our Varsity Boys Basketball team returned with a top 8 finish from the CAIS National Tournament hosted by LCC/Selwyn House/St.George’s. The team lost tough battles to crosstown rivals UCC and Crescent, but won games versus Loyola and St.George’s. The team lost a tough quarter final against Armbrae Academy.

It’s the Varsity Girls turn this week as they travel to Gray Academy in Winnipeg! Also, our Varsity Girls Volleyball team opens their season at Mcmaster December 4.
