COWBOYS FOOTBALL FINISHES SEASON
This past Friday the Cowboys completed their season with a tough 12-8 loss to the Bert Church Chargers, in the Rocky View Tier 2 Third Place game. It was a low scoring affair with the Cowboys giving up two 2 point safeties. The defense from both teams were ready to play and made it tough on the opposing offense. In the 3rd quarter, on a bubble screen Brent Wileman took it to the house on a Brad Taubert pass. Using a great block from fullback Gavin Hamilton, Wileman raced 62 yards for the major and a Cowboy lead. It looked like the score would hold up for the Cowboy victory, but the Chargers scored late in the game. With less than two minutes left the Cowboys had to drive the length of the field. A 40 yard Taubert to Jesse Seddon pass, with less than a minute to play, made it interesting but the Cowboys were not able to get into the end zone to secure the win. The game was an entertaining one and a tough one to lose. It was a tough way for the 19 Cowboys seniors to end their high school careers. They can be proud as they put in an excellent effort.
JV GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL
The Lady Lakers had their best game all season this past Monday, according to Coach Hargrove. The team was firing on all cylinders, and the girls did not let up and played a solid and complete game o beating George Mac in three straight sets. The JV girls were loud and excited, but focused and driven. Coach Hargrove is proud of how they played in the quarter-final s. The win put the team into the semi-finals against the top ranked squad from Springbank.
They put up a valiant effort in the first 2 sets against the Phoenix, but had a rough last set, where the Phoenix team pulled away and secured the victory. Hopefully this loss drives the girls to push harder at practice for the next few weeks and get ready for zones, where they have the possibility of playing Springbank, yet again.
JV BOYS’ VOLLEYBALL
The Lakers played their quarter -finals this Monday at Bert Church in Airdrie, and it was a nail biter! Winning the first set 29-27, losing the second and third with equally close scores they came back in the fourth set with a big win 25-14. The tie breaking fifth match didn’t go as planned, and the boys lost with a score of 15-7 to end the league season. The JV Boys will continue to practice and work hard towards zones on November 16-17 Okotoks.
