BISEOP REDINO Ril SCEGOL M Mark Ryof Lakombo.sa Pyn Royal Report By Mark Laframboise and Ryan Pyne and Chnis the King As the students begin the dreaded process of writing exams, much anxiety fis the halls of Bishop Reding. A reminder to ail students concerning exams: if the school is officiaily closed, exams will be written on the next school day. The remaining exam schedule will be put back one full day. During the final stretch of first semester the numerous athietic teams showed great performance as they head into the exam break. The Senior Boys' Basketball team receutly faced the top-ranked Iroquois Ridge. The guys started strong, lead- ing by as much as thirteen points in the first haîf. However. the Royals struggled to couvert inside the "paint" during the second haîf and losi a competitive game. Ryan Taylor led the ncoring with sixteen points, while Conan O'Brien earned a double-double with thirteen points and thirteen rebonnds. Best of luck in the second semester. Following their tremendous victory against the previsus- ly unbeateu White Oaks squad, the Junior Boys' Basketball team continued ibeir winning ways. In a collective effort, the team claimed an important victory in tise competitive 57-42 win over Iroquois Ridge. We wish the best of luck ta the Midget-Aged players wbo will travel bo St. Thomas Aquinas in Oakville for a tournameut of Febrnary 1 and 2. Last Friday, the Midget Girls' Volleyball Team put forth au excellent effort as they defeated both Oakville Trafalgar and T.A. Blakelock. Laura Coates led the team witb ber ont- standing serving. Justine Hall and Teshia Wood also con- tributed to the victories with their great hits. Recently, the Girls Hockey Team earned a cosviucisg 8- 3 victory over T.A. Blakelock. Nicole Gooding led the Royal squad with ber second straight bat trick. Chelsey Gruszka was also a leading offensive force, with two goals. Kim Standing, Erica Ercolani and Chantaîl Desroches ronnded ont the scor- ing adding one each. Emiiy Ruigrok had a strong game in net to secure the victory. The team would also like to acknowl- edge Nicole Boccia. Her sportsmanship, confidence and com- mitment are a great contribution to the team.
