Porter Creek Senior 1 Rams capture YSAA championship

INCOMING! – FHC Warriors’ Keely Kovacs catches the ball while Porter Creek Senior 1 Rams’ captain Rex Natress comes into third at the Pepsi Centre in Whitehorse Thursday.

The Porter Creek Secondary School Senior 1 Rams are the Yukon Schools Athletic Association (YSAA) high school softball champs.

The Rams downed the F.H. Collins Warriors 17-7 at the Pepsi Centre Thursday to capture the high school softball crown.

The Rams got out to a commanding lead, and were ahead 13-2 going into the fourth inning.

However, the Warriors mounted a comeback, scoring the maximum five runs to make it 13-7 Rams going into the bottom of the fourth.

The Rams only managed one run in the fourth, so were up 14-7 after five innings.

The Warriors got shut out in the top of the fifth.

The Rams took advantage, extending their lead to 17-7 in the bottom of the fifth.

The Warriors then went down one-two-three in the top of the sixth and the Rams took the title.

The Star spoke with Rams captain Rex Natress following their victory.

“The team had a lot of heart. I loved how they played. When it came down to sit people, they understood, and we had an overall competitive team. I loved fitting everybody in. Everybody knew their place and it was a really fun tournament.”

The Rams won all six of their games, four round-robin and two playoffs, to capture the crown.

Natress was asked what the key to victory was for his team.

“I think the heart and soul of the team was definitely it,” he replied.

“The team probably wasn’t the best on paper but these guys worked so hard. They deserve all of it.”

Natress said the team has been together a while.

“We play in the same house league, city league baseball team, so we know each other really well. Obviously, we all go to school together, so building bonds here that will last forever.”

A little doubt about the victory did creep in for Natress, but only for a minute.

“I did start having my concerns when I heard the last one was an open (unlimited runs) inning, but I remembered Nigel (Charlie) was pitching and he’s been our ace this year. Every time he was in, he was shutting them down. He only gave up two or three runs this whole playoffs, so it was unreal.”

Jager Brown was chosen as the MVP for the Rams.

“It’s a very nice experience because this is my last year in high school. It was a good way to end the high school experience. I really enjoyed it.”

Brown said that being a team player was the key to winning the MVP award.

“Shared the ball and no complaining.”

Warriors coach Jodi Tuton said there was lots of energy and positivity shown during the tournament.

“The students had fun.”

Rams coach Brad Gustafson said, “It was great. It was a lot of fun. Some really good ballplayers for sure. They had great attitudes all day, they were super-positive, so it was a good time.

“We just batted everyone and had a few practices and we just had some good ballplayers, some good athletes and they played well today, for sure.”

Gustafson said that the tournament was a big success.

“We had ten teams this year, which is probably the most teams we’ve had, so it’s nice to see the high school softball tournament grow and grow and hopefully this will be bigger and better moving forward.

He added, “Lot of fun. It was a great day.”

OFSAA Alumni Scholarships Announced

Written by admin on June 12, 2023. Posted in Canadian Sport Features, Monthly Highlights. No Comments on OFSAA Alumni Scholarships Announced

Three deserving student-athletes from Ontario’s High Schools have been awarded $800.00 scholarships from the OFSAA Alumni Association this year. Over 50 applications were received from the following eligible associations: CWOSSA, GBSSA, NEOAA, NOSSA, SWOSSAA and YRAA.

This year’s winners are: Sydney Lacarte from Englehart HS, Jace McGrail of Lambton Central CVI in Petrolia and Summer Madronich representing St. Joan of Arc CHS in Barrie.

Congratulations!

Sydney Lacarte is a grade 12 student who plans to study Business at either Nipissing University or Wilfrid Laurier University. During her time at Englehart HS, Sydney was part of the cross country, basketball, volleyball, badminton, and track & field teams while maintaining an 91% average in her academic courses. She was also part of the school’s graduation committee, the intramural committee and numerous fundraisers during her high school career. Sydney had extensive community involvement including working at a local nursing home, assisting with the town of Englehart in organizing and running activities to support youth mental health awareness programs, and volunteering as a coach in youth basketball, volleyball and track and field programs. In her personal statement, Sydney stated that “school sports has taught me how to communicate, listen, make friends, handle pressure situations, and most importantly how to become a team leader and team player”. One of Sydney’s teacher-coaches said this about her importance to the athletic program at Englehart HS: “Sydney excels in all sports and is a modest, hardworking role model for her peers who always displays excellent sportsmanship.”

Jace McGrail is a grade 12 student at Lambton Central CVI. Jace was involved in numerous sports at the school including baseball, volleyball, hockey, cross country and track and field while at the same time maintaining an average of over 86%. Jace was also a two-year member of the school’s student council and part of the athletic association for three years. He has helped out in numerous school activities like the Terry Fox Run and the elementary school track and field competitions. His community outreach involvement is highlighted by his involvement in programs like Neighbour2Neighbour Rural Food Drive, Petrolia Minor Hockey and the Royal Canadian Legion poppy campaign. He also spearheaded a t-shirt sales campaign that raised thousands of dollars for the local Food Bank as well as assisting in the raising of funds for a young boy in the community who required significant medical attention. Jace believes that his involvement in school sport “has significantly influenced my life and shaped me into the person that I am.” One of Jace’s teachers had this to say about him: “Jace is a highly-skilled, selfless, exceptionally thoughtful young man demonstrating remarkable care and concern for his wider community in his service.” In the fall, Jace will be studying Instrumentation and Control Engineering Technology at Lambton College.

Summer Madronich is a grade 12 student at St. Joan of Arc CHS. Another outstanding student-athlete with an average of 90%, Summer participated in seven different sports during her high school career. Being involved in hockey, cross country, badminton, flag football, soccer, ultimate and nordic skiing clearly illustrate how organized and dedicated Summer was towards both her studies and athletics. In addition, Summer was a member of the school’s athletic council for four years, the Best Buddies program, the SHSM Leadership team and the school’s OFSAA Committee that hosted Girls’ AAA Volleyball in 2023. Her community involvement was extensive and included over 300 volunteer hours during her high school. Some of these activities include many as power skating instructor, learn to row instructor and as an evaluator for the Barrie WHA elite hockey team selection process. In her letter to the committee Summer emphasized that being a part of sports teams has allowed her to “learn time management, gained skills and confidence as an athlete, built incredible friendships, and thrive as a leader”. The athletic director at her school noted that “Summer has consistently demonstrated her understanding and belief of the OFSAA values of Leadership, Respect, Integrity, Equity, Diversity, and Resilience.” In the fall, Summer will be studying Nursing at Laurentian University.

What a great day we had Saturday for our 2023 PEISAA Track & Field Provincials! 103 events, over 750 registered athletes! Thank you to the over 70 volunteers, which included 20 students from Charlottetown Rural, we could not hold this event without you!

Many great performances during the day including two new PEISAA records. Soraya Player, of Donagh Regional shaved almost 10 seconds off the old record set in 2015 in the Novice Girls1000 metre. Colin MacAdam, who puts a lot of time into PEISAA Track & Field events, had his record for the Senior Men’s 800 metre, set in 1975, beat by Alex Rogers of Colonel Gray. He beat the record by 13\100’s of a second. In the photo, Alex poses with Colin, who held the record for 48 years!

Once again, Congratulations to All Athletes and Thank You to our volunteers!
