Senior Tigers Update: November 15, 2018

Fall Season Wrap Up

VARSITY FIELD HOCKEY PLACES 7TH AT ‘AA’ BCs:
Congratulations to our Varsity Field Hockey Team for an excellent season and strong finish at AA BCs. While our goal was top 4, we lost a hard fought battle to Shawnigan Lake (SLS) in the quarter-final. That loss put the Tigers in a battle for 5th place but we suffered a hard-fought 1-0 loss to Little Flower Academy (LFA) due to an upset earlier in the tournament. The Tigers then faced South Kamloops. Overall, the girls dominated Brentwood, North Delta, and South Kamloops all with 5-0 scores. They lost 3-1 to Collingwood, the eventual champion, 2-1 to SLS and 1-0 to LFA. The girls competed hard and we celebrate their effort, commitment, and achievement. Special congrats and thank you to all of our graduating field hockey players. Many Grade 12s play field hockey. These girls have helped elevate our Varsity and Senior Team to new heights over these past few seasons. Thank you! Sam, Isabel, Sydney, Matteya, Hannah, Olivia, Ava, Mira, Stephanie, and Kathryn.

GRADE 6 VOLLEYBALL
Our Grade 6 Volleyball team travelled to the Richmond Olympic Oval for the ISEA Playday on November 2. Coaches Miss Murray and Ms. Romako split the girls in to three teams for the day. Thanks to Mr. Camp who joined the team for the day of fun! The girls came back to YHS reporting how much fun they had at the Playday. Our coaches were quite impressed with the level of improvement and they are looking forward to seeing our Grade 6 continue to play next year. A big thank you to our awesome coaches for their time and to our players for their dedication towards improving and having fun!

GRADE 7 VOLLEYBALL
Both of our Grade 7 teams participated in their respective ISEA Tournaments on November 2nd. Both teams had great days, and demonstrated that Tigers really can bring their best when the big moment arrives.

The B team had a great tournament. It started with a challenge match against Southridge on October 30th. The winner of the match won the right to move on to the tournament, and with their season on the line, the Tigers roared! Feeling a huge boost of confidence, the Tigers charged in to the tournament and played their best volleyball of the season winning two matches and losing two matches to finish in 5th place. Well done girls!

The A team arrived at their tournament with a big target on their backs as the number 1 seed, and the clear-cut team to beat. The team got off to a great start, but suffered a bit of a set back in their second match. Rival team WPGA got the best of our girls. Fortunately, the triple knock-out format allowed the team to shake off their slow start and refocus. It was not long before the Tigers got to win their coveted rematch with WPGA, and move to the finals. In the finals the Tigers met a game, but the Mulgrave team that at the end of the day was no match for York House. The Tigers won the tournament and claimed the title of ISEA Champions. Congrats to our coaches and players for a great season.

Grade 7 basketball selections are underway and the first games of the season are just around the corner. Grade 5 (Mon/Wed) and Grade 6 (Tues/Thur) basketball teams begin practice next week, following the Remembrance Day long weekend. Go Tigers!
