Teams Do Well at the Knights of Columbus Tournament

Cedars was well represented in the Knights of Columbus Tournament last Thursday and Friday at Sacred Heart School. The girls team won their first two games of the year and ended the tournament in a three-way tie for first place with a 2 wins 1 loss record! However after factoring in points for and against, we ultimately ended up in third place. The girls played exceptionally well for Coaches Kaitlynn Staves and Angela Whitehouse and exhibited a joy in their efforts regardless of the outcome.

Our boys team was made up of only our grade 7 players; we could only enter one team and with 18 grade 6 boys there wasn’t enough room or playing time for all of them. We combined the 8 grade 7 boys from our two boys teams and Coaches Winston Price and Kara Crosina shared coaching duties. And the boys responded the challenge – they finished with record 3 wins and 0 losses and for the first in the 37 year history of the tournament, Cedars was declared the champions!

That, coupled with the boys winning the Knights of Columbus Volleyball Tournament in the fall makes it a great year for elementary sports at Cedars! Well done to both our girls’ and boys’ teams.
