High "Five" - Intramurals end in Style
|
Claremont Intramurals wrapped up Thursday afternoon beginning with a lopsided Bronze Medal Victory by Team 3, blowing out Team 2 by a final score of 8-2.
The Gold Medal match came down right down to the final minute, when Team 4 scored a late goal to come within 1, but it was too little too late as Team 5 managed to hold on to the 2-1 victory - officially becoming the first Intramural Champions at Claremont. Way to go Team 5, and Go Spartans! |

Junior Finals complete; team 4 "Golden"

|
|
Junior Intramurals wrapped up Wednesday afternoon with a pair of exciting medal matches. Team 3 pulled off the victory, upsetting Team 2 in an thrilling match that set the stage for our Gold Medal Championship - and the game did not disappoint. Strong performances from both goaltenders rendered the match scoreless, until Grade 9 student Jett Klassen tenaciously put away the biggest goal of the tournament. A big thank you to all the staff that helped ref and organize - especially to AD Darren Reisig for his leadership in running the tournament. Congratulations to Team 4, and thank you to all athletes that came out to participate!
Stay tuned for an announcement what our next Intramural sport will be, and how to register! Go Spartans!

Spartans battling at provincials
|
The school is eerily quiet with so many teams away at their respective Provincial Championships this week. The Girls Curling team has had two big comebacks fall just short (5-7 versus Kitimat, and 6-7 versus Chilliwack). They look to get back on track tonight against Van Tech at 7:30 (the game can be live streamed from HERE on Sheet 4).
In other news, the Senior Boys Basketball team won their first game of the Provincial Championships, narrowly edging Holy Cross 69-67. A double-double from Ethan Boag (19-13) and strong rebounding from Nik Babaeff and Jakob Neufeld allowed the boys to take their opening game. The boys resume play this evening (March 5th) at 8:15 when they take on #3 seed Kelowna. Stay tuned for more... |

More teams bound for provincials!
|
|
February was a busy month for Spartan success, and it appears that March will be no different, as more athletes are headed off to their respective Provincial Championships this week. Good luck to our Swimmers (Victoria), the Girls Curling team (Kelowna), the Senior Boys Basketball team (Langley), and the Junior & Senior Boys Lacrosse teams who head to Vancouver (and subsequently Las Vegas for 19 of the Senior Boys). GO SPARTANS!

Senior & Junior Girls Return from Langley
|
|
Congratulations to the Junior and Senior Girls Basketball teams, who returned from their respective Provincial Championships this past weekend. The Junior Girls had MVP performances from Adia Pye (also a 2nd team All-Star), Kat Kalabric, Sierra Lise, and Olivia Boulding on the way to a 9th place finish; while the Senior Girls overcame some early struggles to finish in 12th.
Spartan Boys are Langley Bound
Playing in front of a packed house, the Senior Boys Basketball team pulled off a commanding win 90-57 over visiting NDSS to secure the final Island berth to the 2020 Provincial Championships held in Langley next month. Dominant performances from Jakob Neufeld and Ethan Boag, and a late appearance from fan-favorite Jeff Reiberger were enough to propel the boys past an over matched NDSS team.
When asked about the game, former grad and coach Brandon Dunlop had this to say about his team: "The boys were ready to go from the beginning. We got major contributions from everyone who stepped into the game and I couldn't be more proud of each of them. It's an absolute joy to watch them play when they play the way they are capable of. They showed tonight just how tough they are, especially after a difficult loss. We can't wait to see how we stack up against the best teams in BC. We are confident in our chances against anyone."
