Athletics Action
1st Alpine
Coaches: Peter Andras, Laura King, Rob Fleming
On Wednesday, the 1st Alpine team competed in the CISAA Championships at Alpine Ski Club in Collingwood. The team had a great day of skiing in the exceptional conditions.
The School Trained Boys had a great day of personal bests on the challenging open course. Tuna Basara entered the second run in seventh place after an awesome first run. Unfortunately, he struggled in the slalom run and was disqualified. The other boys on the team did very well with Momo Maack finishing at the top of the LCS group (15th overall) followed closely by Andrew Crix (19th), Max Brandes (20th), Arda Basara (22nd) and Magnus Hepburn (25th). Looking forward to some excellent results from the young team next season!
In the Open Category, Avril Gougeon had two solid runs and placed 11th.
Noah Storey had a tough end to his LCS racing career. He started as a man possessed in his first run, skillfully accelerating on every turn until he hit a compression and slid out. With an amazing feat of strength and athleticism, he was able to right himself and finish the first run in 14th place! Unfortunately, did not finish his second run! We wish him all the best and thank him for all of his leadership and dedication over the past seasons!
Finally, the OFSAA-bound School Trained Girls had a tough day but had exceptional results from Emma Durach (2nd) and Alina Schlau (12th) and were followed up by Clara Seitz 21st). The girls finished in third place today and despite an amazing season with 3 first place and one 2nd place finish may end up in second place overall! The girls will be ready for OFSAA on February 26 and 27 at Blue Mountain in Collingwood.
1st Boys’ Basketball
Coaches: Derek Doucet, Michael Grant
The 1st Boys Basketball team hosted Crestwood Prep this past Wednesday in what proved to be our most exciting game of the season. The team got off to a slow start, but honoured our defensive principles of urgency, intensity and helping one another. We held the team to 9 points in the 1st quarter.
The second quarter was our best. We honoured our offensive principles of quality passing, patience and intensity. We moved the ball with purpose and moved well against their zone, attacking the gaps and slipping the seams like a well-oiled machine. We got out to a commanding lead and it looked like we found our feet and were coming together.
The third quarter was back and forth and was the most evenly matched quarter with both teams battling for every inch of space on the floor. It was a frenetic pace with lots of turnovers for both teams but battling nonetheless. We etched out the quarter with high energy, and we were still up by 2 points.
The 4th quarter seem to take 4 days. As I think back, I can see the entire quarter in slow motion. Crestwood came out with a coordinated punch that seemed to make us stumble. With 4 minutes left in the game, we were down by 6. Instead of coming together and honouring our offensive and defensive principles, we tried to play as individuals instead of as a unit.
There was a lot to celebrate in our game - our defense improved greatly until late in the game, and offensively, we showed signs of brilliance. As we move forward, we will put into action the lessons of this games and ones before in order to work hard and see success both on and off the floor.

1st Girls’ Hockey
Coaches: Rory Gilfillan, April Loojie
Paige Thompson is a study in contradictions. While soft-spoken, quick to smile and quicker to laugh, she is incongruously known on the LCS Girl's Hockey Team as Rage, or Ragey (or simply P.T.). She is a forward who likes to play defense, a kind-hearted athlete with an inclination to throwing herself violently into the tracks of rushing wingers; a proclivity that is often juxtaposed with sublime moments of figure skating grace. She is fleet-footed until suddenly she isn't. But she is also representative of a team that refuses to be defined or quantified by the normal measures that permeate the sport.
At this past Wednesday's tournament in Norwood, we didn't win a game. We didn't even score a goal. This past Wednesday, as we do during every practice and every game and every road trip, we found joy in each in other. We remain a team of contradictions, characters and comedians with a goalie who dances, a winger who brushes her teeth in the dressing room before games, a player, who despite her last name Coates, never wears one, a player who is a gifted Bitmoji artist, a player who apologizes to opponents when she bumps into them and a coach who sleeps with a skate sharpener. Above all we are a team that doesn't withdraw in loss but leans into it. Robert Frost wrote that, "Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.'
For a team with players hailing from all over the world, hockey is home.

1st Boys’ Hockey
Coach: Ian Armstrong
The 1st Boys' Hockey played two of its best games of this season in back-to-back games. With four call-ups from the junior team to support the roster, the boys in red and green played determined and decisive hockey; in both games games putting themselves in position to win both games and to earn valuable points towards playoff qualification.
However, in both games, the courage and had work were not quite enough as the boys fell 5-4 to Trinity College School and 4-3 to Upper Canada College.
Notable performances in each game included Jack Campbell's stellar play in goal and first goals by Blake Wickware and Luc Reeve.
