It is hard to believe that football is over for another season. The volleyball teams are all in playoffs this week with a goal of getting to the league finals. November is always an incredibly busy month as volleyball winds down and basketball practices start.
CROSS COUNTRY
Congratulations to three CHS students who qualified for Cross Country Provincials, last Saturday.

All three qualified through their strong result at the South Central Zone Championships on a cold, windy day. Special congratulations to Katelyn. This is the sixth Provincial Championship she has qualified for in her three years at CHS. Congratulations to all team members.
FOOTBALL
The Cowboys finished their season on a high note with a 17-8 victory, over WH Croxford in the Tier 2 Third Place game. The Cowboys were solid in all 3 phases of the game. The defense played very physical and the offense had a number of big plays. Touchdowns were scored by Roy Outh and Alen Cekic. Blair Rota rounded out the scoring with 3 converts and a field goal. Congratulations to all team member and coaches for a hard fought victory. I enjoyed presenting the plaque to the captains, as commissioner of the the RVFL.
