The team qualified for the

couple touchdowns of moving on to the quarter finals.

Mr. Castellani and Mr.

well the players worked together and improved together as a team. Everyone knew and accepted their role, and
that was the biggest key to the team’s success.

A big thank you goes out to
Mr. and Mrs. Leach for their help in getting the football field ready,
supplying us with coffee and soup, and for bringing their tent to keep us
sheltered.

Thank you also to the parents

crowd.

You, your class, your team!

Ardtrea Volleyball goes to School

tcave — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 03:09:43 +0000

Last Thursday night the Ardtrea Boys Volleyball team travelled to Eastview in Barrie to face some of the counties elite teams. Althought the boys were not victorious, the experience was an important one. The teams that the boys faced have been working together for upwards of four or five seasons forming excellent team cohesion and skills. Playing the weakest teams first, the boys were beaten almost into submission. After some frank conversations and a few hard fought rallies, the boys began to fight back. In their last set the boys faced last year’s tournament winning team and took both games to 20 plus points. The marked improvement in their confidence, team play and skill was astonishing. It was evident in the boys next practice that the concept of team has become a new mantra for them. Looking forward the boys are off to face local power house Notre Dame on Wednesday. Good Luck!

Ardtrea’s Best Showing @ the Area Cross Country Meet

tcave — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 02:53:09 +0000

Weeks of training and support from the whole school community payed off on Tuesday as the Mustang’s Cross Country Team travelled to Mount St. Louis for the annual Area Cross Country meet. Early in the first race it was obvious the Mustang’s were there to win as Haley P. crested the Mount at the head pack. She held a steady pace finishing 13th in the Gr4 Girls race. Karley Rimkey narrowly missed qualifying in the next race, placing 18th in the Gr5 Girls race. Lizzy G. and Hailee followed suit taking 7th and 15th solidifying spots in the county finals. Shortly after, Sam C. dominated in his Gr6 Boys race taking 5th overall securing a spot at counties. In the next, and probably most anticipated race of the day, Rhys took no prisoners winning his race and crushing the competition. Jared M. also pushed hard and secured a trip to the counties with a 16th place finish. Teegan followed suit with a 9th place for the Gr7 girls and making sure she would represent once again at counties. In one of the most exciting finishes the Gr8 girls showed their domination coming in as a pack with Heidi H. in the lead, followed by Cassie (18th), Sky (19th) and Naomi (22nd).

All Ardtrea competitors did an amazing job, tackling terrain and hills they did not get a chance to train on. What is clear is that this is just the beginning as many of the runners came back to school only to join right in with the daily SWEAT.

The Boys Intermediate Volleyball team faced off against the Orchard Park Panthers in their season opener, displaying better court skills but bested by Orchard’s strong serving game. Dispite the loss, many of the team’s rookies came alive and showed excellent court play, winning almost every rally. The boys look forward to a rematch in their own house this coming Wednesday night.
