Reach for the Top
Provincial Tournament, April 27
Five students from Grades 9-11 competed in the Senior Provincial Reach For the Top competition against mostly Grade 11 and 12 students. We came out of Round-Robin 2nd out of 22 teams and lost a couple of close games in the Semis and then Bronze medal match and finished in 4th place. This was quite the feat for a young team consisting of mostly rookies to Reach for the Top!
