Sports Update

Our final Sports Update–Junior Girls Soccer, U14 and Senior Boys Rugby!

Junior Girls Soccer

This past Saturday, the Junior Girls’ Soccer team competed in the season ending finals. The team’s first opponents were from SML who they narrowly defeated during the regular season so we knew that it was going to be a tough game. Our girls started out playing cautiously in order to get a sense of the opposition. But as they game wore on, we started to make more and more plays. The precision passing by Jahnai and Saara lead to some excellent chances by Julia, Sacha, and Angelina. In the end, we won the game 3-2 and were now heading into the finals.

With the temperature outside feeling like a scorching 40 degrees Celsius, we were facing SJK who were our toughest rivals from the regular season. Once again the game started out with both teams playing carefully and not taking many chances. Unfortunately, SJK was able to capitalize on the only two chances they had all first half to build a 2-0 lead. We attempted to make some strategic changes in order to turn the game around in the second half, but the extreme heat and the solid play by SJK prevented us from breaking through. The girl’s did earn second place and the silver medal.

Mrs. Williams and Mr. Podlovics are very proud of the overall results and the incredible effort every player put into this season. The next few years of girls’ soccer looks extremely promising. Not only did the players we expected to play well do just that, but a few players who were very inexperienced came to the forefront of the team and showed their incredible potential. Congratulations on the amazing season!

U14 Boys Rugby

On Friday, the U14 Boys Rugby team travelled to CDS to participate in the playoffs. The team came in with high expectations and went up against the host team in their first game. Cheered on by the home crowd, CDS prevailed by a score of 4-3 after a late game try.

After the initial disappointment of losing their first game, the U14 boys rebounded to win their next three games by a combined score of 13-7 to take home the Bronze Medal. Adam Bounsall, Callum Braund, Jonas Weissland and Jacob Hanning scored tries for the team and Forrest Lin, Armin Selzner, Amir Rafati, Cameron Frank, Jet Lam and Mateo Licata came up with more than a few big tackles.

Congratulations to the U14 Boys Rugby team on a fantastic season! Your determination, commitment and effort made all of those at CPC and within the rugby program proud.

 

Senior Boys Rugby

Congratulations once again to the Senior Boys rugby team who captured the CISAA Rugby 7’s championships last week! The boys began the day with a semi-final win over Albert College by a score of 5-0.  This moved them on to the championship game against Pickering College.  This was a back and forth battle between both teams, but Crestwood’s speed and team defense lead the boys to a 15-12 victory!  Mrs. Newton and Mr. Pagano would like to thank the entire team for all their hard work and dedication throughout the season.  Congratulations to our graduating seniors – Andrew Gdanski, Luca Letteri, Rohan Narayanan, Aidan Reilly and Liam Wilkinson.  As well we look forward to a three-peat with our returning seniors – Brandon Baijnauth, Braden Harris, Justin Lim, Chris Sanders, Artie Shlykov, Mert Tutcu, and Aren Karshafian. Congratulations on a fantastic season!
