September 2025 Athlete of the Month

PEISAA will be honoring a male and female Intermediate and Sr Athlete of the month from Sept to June. Each recipient receives an athlete of the Month Glass. Not always based on performance but also on the essential qualities of leadership, dedication, and sportsmanship.

PEISAA Senior Athletes of the Month for September

Alexa Doyle– field hockey, Grade 12

Alexa has been a real leader on the team. As team captain and a utility player, she has been asked to play numerous different positions and has excelled at all of them. Her skill is at an elite level. As a forward she puts defensive players on their heels as she brings speed and skill to push the play. As a midfielder she controlled the play, distributed the ball to her teammates and plays great 2-way field hockey. She plays a crucial role in both offensive and defensive penalty corners. She holds her teammates accountable and is more than willing to put in the work. She is always asking for suggestions to improve her game.

Alexa is participating in two programs this semester- Big Brothers Big Sisters and Gamechangers. In BBBS, Alexa will be paired with a little at one of our feeder elementary schools, to spend time with them once a week. She has shown great initiative with this. Additionally, Alexa is participating in Gamechangers, which is a PHE funded program that we run here at Colonel Gray with the Leadership 621 class and our Special Olympics athletes. In addition to Unified Bocce, students spend time with our students once a week doing activities of their choosing- bowling, crafts, soccer baseball, etc. Alexa has been a great leader with this program, and has made a true effort to connect with our Special Olympic athletes.

Nate MacLean, a member of the Charlottetown Rural Men’s AAA Baseball team.

Nate has been an excellent addition to the Baseball team so far. Although he is only in grade 10, he has become a fast leader on our team! Showing up to every tryout/practice/game prepared, with a positive attitude and ready to tackle whatever is thrown at him. Whether it be pitching, catching or playing the field, Nate gives 110%! His knowledge, awareness and being vocal during the game helps not only himself, but his teammates! He has quickly grown into one of our “go to” guys!

PEISAA Intermediate Athletes of the Month for September

Sullivan “Sully” MacNeill is a Grade 9 student at Birchwood Intermediate. He played on U15AAA Stratford Baseball this past summer.

Pitched a no hitter in 8-0 win vs Morell. 19 strike outs & 3 walks

He has since pitched a second no-hitter and a perfect game on Wed, Oct 15 in the semi-finals.

Bridget Cheverie is a grade 9 student at Summerside Intermediate who has shown outstanding leadership and dedication across multiple sports this fall ( cross country and Field Hockey). Her strong work ethic, positive attitude, and drive to improve make her an exceptional teammate. Always coachable and self-motivated, Bridget inspires those around her and leads by example both on and off the field. While she could be the first female runner to finish during practices, she consistently loops back to encourage and motivate her teammates, showing true team spirit and sportsmanship.

Congratulations to our September School Sport New Brunswick Athletes of the month, Addison and Jack. Addison is an integral part of Rothesay High’s school athletic program. She is an excellent student who has achieved high honours throughout her high school career. In addition to being a great student, she is also an outstanding athlete that possess numerous athletic skills. Her finest quality is her ability to motivate others to put their best effort forward. This philosophy has had her teammates select her as a team captain numerous times throughout the years. As a captain of the football team, Jack has led at practice and in games.  He has scored multiple touchdowns in both games and he has also played on the defensive side of the ball. He has been an impactful player both on and off the field and a key contributor to the Spartans success in the first half of the season. Jack will continue to be a leader as the Spartans look to continue their season.  He is also a key piece of our baseball team, pitching two complete games and leading the team in hitting. Jack is also a coach for our unified team doing a great job with this group of athletes. Congratulations to both athletes and thank you to the coaches and staff for taking the time to acknowledge these amazing students.

Félicitations à nos athlètes du mois de septembre de Sport Scolaire Nouveau-Brunswick, Addison et Jack. Addison fait partie intégrante du programme sportif de Rothesay High. C’est une excellente élève qui a obtenu les meilleures notes tout au long de ses études secondaires. En plus d’être une excellente élève, c’est aussi une athlète exceptionnelle qui possède de nombreuses compétences sportives. Sa plus grande qualité est sa capacité à motiver les autres à donner le meilleur d’eux-mêmes. Cette philosophie a fait que ses coéquipiers l’ont élue capitaine de l’équipe à plusieurs reprises au cours des années. Jack a été un leader à l’entraînement et lors des matchs en tant que capitaine de l’équipe de football. Il a marqué plusieurs touchdowns lors des deux matchs et a également joué en défense. Il a été un joueur influent tant sur le terrain qu’en dehors et a largement contribué au succès des Spartans lors de la première moitié de la saison. Jack continuera à jouer un rôle de leader alors que les Spartans cherchent à continuer leur saison. Il est également un élément clé de notre équipe de baseball, ayant lancé deux matchs complets et étant le meilleur frappeur de l’équipe. Jack est également entraîneur de notre équipe unifiée et fait un excellent travail avec ce groupe d’athlètes. Félicitations aux deux athlètes et merci aux entraîneurs et au personnel d’avoir pris le temps de reconnaître ces élèves extraordinaires.

Girls NL High School Softball wrap up

by 

October 9, 2025

4 mins read

By Jason Pike – Sports Correspondent. 

This past weekend marked the culmination of the high school girls’ slo-pitch season in Newfoundland and Labrador, with 24 teams competing across the 2A, 3A, and 4A provincial championships held in three host communities.


2A Championship – Port Saunders

Port Saunders played host to the 2A provincial tournament, welcoming eight schools from across the island.

Division 1 included Canon Richards High, Baltimore High, Leo Burke Academy of Bishop’s Falls, and St. James All-Grade.

Division 2 featured French Shore Academy, J.M. Olds Collegiate of Lewisporte, Valmont Academy of King’s Point, and Fortune Bay Academy from the Burin Peninsula.

The event saw plenty of one-sided results — a pattern seen in many of this year’s regional qualifiers — sparking conversation about whether it may be time to reintroduce the 1A provincial championship to balance the competition among smaller schools.

When the tournament wrapped up, J.M. Olds Collegiate once again reigned supreme, capturing their eighth provincial girls’ slo-pitch title in the past ten years, solidifying their reputation as a dynasty at the 2A level.


3A Championship – Laval High School, Placentia

Laval High School in Placentia served as host for the 3A girls’ championship, which also featured eight competitive teams.

Division 1 consisted of Glovertown Academy, Mobile Central High, Woodland Hills Academy, and Pasadena Academy.

Division 2 included Botwood Collegiate, Discovery Collegiate of Bonavista, Templeton Academy from the west coast, and the hometown Laval High Lakers.

While the tournament saw several lopsided games, it also produced a changing of the guard. Long-dominant programs such as Mobile and Glovertown were eliminated earlier than expected, making way for fresh contenders.

The championship game came down to Botwood Collegiate and Templeton Academy, two resilient squads that battled through their brackets with strong defense and timely hitting. In the end, Botwood Collegiate claimed the provincial banner with a 5–3 victory, earning the 3A gold in fine fashion.


4A Championship – Gander Collegiate

The 4A provincial championship took place at Gander Collegiate, which hosted another strong eight-team field.

Division 1 featured the host Gander Collegiate Concordes, Exploits Valley Academy, Prince of Wales Collegiate, and Mount Pearl Senior High.

Division 2 was made up of Roncalli Central High, Clarenville High, Stephenville High, and Queen Elizabeth Regional High from Foxtrap.

The 4A tournament showcased a heavy east-coast presence, with five of the eight participating teams hailing from the region. Appropriately, it was an east-coast school that emerged victorious.

In a thrilling championship matchup, the Roncalli Cardinals dethroned the defending champions — the Gander Collegiate Concordes — to capture the 4A provincial title. The win marked Roncalli’s fourth championship in five years, further cementing their legacy as one of the province’s premier girls’ slo-pitch programs.

Final Thoughts

This year’s slate of provincial championships highlighted both dominance and renewal across the divisions. From J.M. Olds’ continued dynasty at the 2A level to Botwood Collegiate’s breakthrough performance at 3A and Roncalli’s sustained excellence at 4A, the weekend served as a celebration of teamwork, perseverance, and the thriving spirit of high school girls’ softball in Newfoundland and Labrador.
