Even though the recent winter snow storm played havoc with road
conditions and regularly scheduled events, it wasn’t a big deterrent to the girls’ basketball championships held at St. Benedict Catholic
Secondary School this past weekend. The twelve team tournament began
Friday night at St. Francis Catholic elementary school with games
continuing on Saturday, followed by the finals on Sunday.

As in other years, the medal rounds showcased excellent play, sportsmanship and spirit. This year was no exception. The St. David Dragons went down to defeat at the hands of the Marymount Regals 38-24 in the championship match. The score was tied for over half of the game, but in the end the Dragons simply ran out of steam.

Jessie Hamilton was awarded the Bronze medal over Felix Ricard, while R.L. Beattie defeated St. James to capture the Consolation championship. Special recognition was given to Christie Sitko from Jessie Hamilton for outstanding offense. Sitko was the top scorer of the tournament with eighteen points in one game. Top defensive player was Chelsea Wandziak of St. David, while Brittany
Michaud of Marymount was selected as tournament MVP.

Organizers Judi Way (St. Benedict) and Jean Gallien (St. Francis) would like to thank all players, coaches and fans for making this event a success and also the Sudbury Catholic District School Board for generously donating the plaques and medallions.

Congratulations to the Marymount Junior and Senior Regals for their excellent showing in this past weekend’s Nickel Classic Volleyball Tournament. The Senior Regals finished first in their respective pool and were only one of two Sudbury teams to make it to the quarter finals but ended up losing a close match to Sir James Dunn of the Sault marking the end of their tournament run.

The Junior Regals also competed in the Nickel Classic but faired much better than the seniors by finishing first in their pool in round robin play, defeating Sir James Dunn in the quarter finals, and Chippewa from North Bay in semifinal play. In the exciting final match, the Regals shocked the Franco Cite team by defeating them two games straight to claim the Nickel Classic Volleyball championship. The victory marks the second consecutive year that the Marymount Junior Regals have one the largest junior tournament in the province.

Canadian Olympian Enjoys Pen Pal Friendship with St. Anne Students

Posted on by admin

Olympic athlete Kristina Groves has given the Grade One and Two class at St. Anne School a reason to cheer a little louder for Canada in the 2006 Winter Olympics. Kristina Groves is a Speed Skater with whom the children have been Pen Pals since the fall.

“Along with speed skating, she has been teaching us about the importance of always trying your best, eating properly and taking care of your body. It is so nice of her to take time away from such a busy schedule and make them feel a bit more special”.

To make sure that Kristina was not lonely on Valentine’s Day, the children made her cards and pictures. They also sent her a good luck bracelet and a banner that they made to cheer her on. The students were thrilled to hear that she had qualified for the 1000m, 1500m, 3000m, 5000m and the Team Pursuit.

They created posters to be posted around the school and flags to cheer with while watching her at school. During the Olympics the students will be giving a morning news report to update everyone on Canada’s medal standings.
