VCHS Wraps Up Successful Season of Sports

Vegreville Composite High School

Submitted

It has been a busy winter for Vegreville Composite athletics.

VCHS ran six basketball teams this season, with four junior high teams, and two senior high teams.

The junior high basketball teams have finished up league play and playoffs, and all had fun and successful seasons. Some highlights from the season were: Jr A Girls were EIPS Tournament

Champions, a second-place finish for the Jr A Girls at their home tournament, bronze medals for the Jr B Boys at the EIPS Tournament, and the Jr A Girls finished the season as EIPS League Champions! VCHS Athletics is very appreciative of all of our hardworking, dedicated junior high basketball coaches, including: Ethan Chau, Zack Pooke, Adrienne Mills, Glenn Brophy, Sheila Stemberger, Nancy Worobec, and Kim Kateranchuk.

Another season has wrapped up for the senior high basketball teams.

The Junior A girls were a force to be reckoned with, clinching the EIPS championship.

Our senior boys were in the finals of both the Breton tournament in December and the St. Mary’s tournament at the end of January. The boys were ready to head into zones with a 9-7 record, but unfortunately, zones were canceled due to COVID-19. The team looks forward to next year when a majority of the team will return for their senior season. The senior boys are led by dedicated coach Bryan Worobec.

Our senior high girls, led by Glenn Brophy, were in tough this season. With a team made up of mostly rookies, they focused on improvement and fun- and were successful in achieving both!

The VCHS junior and senior High curling programs continued for a second year. We had 18 new students join the program this year. This is exciting as the program continues to build. We also had some AL Horton students pick up the sport and will continue with this next year as well!

VCHS hosted NEASAA Zone Curling Championship. It was a very successful event with 24 teams attending from the North-East part of the province. VCHS had a boys, mixed and girls team that curled at the zone level. Given that many of the students are only in their second year of curling and are still learning the sport, VCHS did very well. The girls, in fact, placed 1st in their pool and would finish off with a 4th place finish overall! VCHS is very appreciative of the time and dedication coach, Kendall Warawa, has put into developing and running this program!

All of the VCHS staff expressed their heartfelt gratitude to all of the parents for supporting VCHS Athletics this winter. We appreciate your commitment to driving, your loud cheering, your fundraising efforts, and for encouraging and supporting all of our athletes!

All staff and student-athletes are sad to be missing handball, badminton and track and field right now; but look forward to seeing each other on the fields and courts again soon. We miss you, Cougars!
