PCS Cup Cheetah Champs

With only trace amounts of snow remaining on the ground from earlier in the week, the weather cooperated beautifully today for our annual PCS Cup football tournament. Starting at 9:00am, 8 teams consisting of grade 6 through 12 students competed vigourously for the trophy and the honour of becoming the 2009 champions. Team names were based on their house teams: Bobcats - Buccaneers and Broncos; Cheetahs - Cardinals and Colts; Lynx - Leos and Lions; Pumas - Patriots and Pirates. Making it to the final were the Bobcat Buccaneers and the undefeated Cheetah Colts. Both teams put their full heart and soul into the close game but the Buccaneers were edged out 29 to 28! Way to go to all the teams that played well and fairly throughout the day. Congratulations Colts!!

Cool Cross-Country Competitors

The cross country finals were held at the Mervin Golf course in very snowy conditions! "It was a great day and I was very proud of how they competed in such extreme conditions," said Ms. Montgomery who took two of our grade 8 students. One placed 3rd in Bantam boys and the other placed 11th in Midget boys. Our third place finisher literally ran in a blizzard.

Snow and cold scares off soccer players

PCS was not the only school to bow out of the annual Grade 8 Soccer tournament in Rapid View this week. With blowing snow and temperatures dropping to -6 degrees, some students dropped out at the last minute forcing a cancellation of attendance. The weather, historically, is not very cooperative for the annual tournament.

Mega Results

Teams from across the division got to break in Maidstone's brand new gym floor during two tournaments the last couple of weeks. Although they played well, neither senior team placed at Maidstone on the weekend of Sept. 25/26. Last weekend, however, the Junior Boys shone and brought back 1st place!!! This was a huge accomplishment for the team. The girls did not place but also played well. All teams deserve credit for their sportsmanship, great attitudes and good representation of Pierceland Central School.
