Twenty student athletes (listed below) from the NBIAA’s four conferences have been selected to receive the Raymond Légère Excellence Awards. These students have shown outstanding qualities throughout the school year while participating in NBIAA sports.

These awards are named in honour of Raymond Légère, a member of the Moncton’s Wall of Fame as a builder. Raymond taught physical education in many schools in New Brunswick. His love for coaching was only overshadowed by his love of physical education and the values it taught young people. He was the director of physical education for years at Vanier High School and École Mathieu-Martin.

The top two student athletes, one male and one female, in each school classification, will also receive the William S.Ritchie Excellence Award. These awards will also be presented to the selected top 6 recipients.

These awards are in honour of William S. Ritchie, a member of the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame and a past Executive Director of the New Brunswick Interscholastic Athletic Association. He served on the board of directors for Canadian School Sports Federation from 1970-82 and he was
inducted into the Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame in 1997.

This award goes to the Most Sportsmanlike Coach of the Year and recognizes their outstanding lifetime achievements towards students and the NBIAA school sports programs. This award is named after Emery Johnson, the former athletic director of Dalhousie Regional High School and NBIAA Executive Member, who passed away in November 2003. The winner for 2022-2023 is James Cole from
Hartland Community School. The Emery Johnson Memorial Award will also be presented at the Awards Banquet.

MCHS hosts 2023 Cheer Provincials; Wolves take second place

Morinville News, by Stephen Dafoe for more photo’s click here

The Morinville Community High School (MCHS) Cheer team hosted ACA/ASAA Cheer Provincials on Apr. 14 and 15, the first time the school has hosted a provincial competition since 1997. The two-day event featured elementary, junior high and high school competitors demonstrating their skills in the Landrex Arena at the Morinville Leisure Centre. 

MCHS put a bid in to host provincials back in 2019, but due to the pandemic, it would not be until this year that the event would happen in town. The event drew roughly 16 teams of five to 30 athletes, all vying to be deemed the best in the province. It also drew record attendance.

“This has been quite the undertaking,” said MCHS Cheer Coach Amanda Bulger ahead of the weekend competition. “It’s incredibly exciting and super stressful all at the same time. It’s also very bittersweet. I’m excited for the event to just happen already, so I just stop stressing about everything that needs to happen. But that also means that our season is coming to an end, and I’m not ready to stop working with this amazing group of young ladies.”

Bulger said that the team has had a wonderful season and finished in either first or second place at the various competitions they entered.

“The girls have worked incredibly hard to increase the difficulty of our stunt and pyramid sections in the last month,” Bulger said. “I could not be more proud of them and everything they have accomplished this season.”  

The competition commenced Friday night with Day 1 of the ASAA (Alberta Schools Athletic Association) Highschool Provincial Cheerleading Championships. Saturday morning began with the ACA (Alberta Cheerleading Association) Elementary and Junior High Provincial Championships. St. Kateri and G.H. Primeau had teams in that competition. Saturday afternoon saw more high school cheer competitions. High school scores were tabulated based on teams’ two-run totals.

MCHS competed in two divisions this year: the All Girls Advanced Division and the Game Day Division. The All Girls Advance Division was a two-and-a-half-minute routine consisting of a cheer, stunts, tumbling, jumps and dance. The Game Day routine is three minutes and consists of four shorter routines you would see performed on the sidelines of a sporting event. 

The MCHS Wolves took second place in both of their competition categories. 

The Georges H. Primeau Coyotes took third place in the Median Division, and the St. Kateri Tekakwitha Academy Bisons took fourth place in the Elementary Novice Division.

L’équipe des joueurs de Futsal de l’école Évangéline a remporté une médaille d’or au championnat provincial scolaire de Futsal Juvénile masculin 2023.

Le Journal des voisins a reçu la lettre suivante de Patricia qui a accompagné Dennys, psychoéducateur à l’école Évangéline, et l’équipe de joueurs de Futsal à Rimouski la fin de semaine du 14 avril.

Patricia est porteuse d’une très belle nouvelle concernant la victoire de l’équipe au championnat provincial scolaire de Futsal juvénile masculin. Ce sport, dont le nom est une contraction des mots espagnols Futbol en sala, soit du football (soccer) en salle, s’inspire des règles du basketball, du waterpolo, du handball et du soccer.

Voici sa lettre:

Nous félicitons l’équipe de Futsal juvénile de l’école secondaire Évangéline pour avoir remporté la médaille d’or lors du Championnat provincial scolaire de Futsal juvénile 2023, division 3, ayant lieu à Rimouski lors de la fin de semaine du 14 au 16 avril 2023 organisé par le Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ).

C’est une médaille que ces jeunes ainsi que leurs entraîneurs ont gagnée avec détermination, discipline, implication, acharnement et un incroyable travail d’équipe hors pair et remarquable. Une victoire que ces jeunes porteront dans leur cœur toute une vie, d’autant plus que c’est une médaille dédiée à Ariel* et à Thyron*.

Que cette victoire soit un exemple de détermination et de motivation pour tous les autres jeunes du quartier.

Nous sommes fiers de vous.

Vos accompagnateurs, Dennys et Patricia.
