ATHLETICS
Wow, what a week in TYS Athletics! Varsity Boys Soccer drew with St. Andrew’s in their opening match. Grace F knocked down a buzzer to send the JV Girls Basketball into OT where TYS took over. Our JV Boys Volleyball team lost a tough five-setter match to TFS but showed a great fight!
We wish our Varsity Boys Volleyball team good luck as they open their season at the McMaster High School Tournament.
We are so excited to Host “Volleyball Combine” this weekend. Feel free to drop in if you have not signed up.
Sport is powerful in so many ways, it teaches us so much about the importance of character and gives us perspective. This year, my plan is to show the power of sport through story and the lessons it teaches!
Leeet’s Go TYS!
