Molly Hutchison was the Hustler of the Game and Emily Drisdelle was awarded Player of the Game. In their second game, they downed St. Stephen 71 to 15.
Thank you to all the parents, grandparents and fellow students from the blue, purple and orange teams who took the time to join us this afternoon for the Red team science fair. All red team students had a chance to showcase their work in science. The grade 7 and 8 students were able to answer questions about their projects. They were also able to demonstrate and describe the skills they have learned over the last couple months. The Red Team science fair was a huge success!
From Mr Menzies: The Harkins Huskies Boys Junior Varsity basketball team are district champs tonight, after defeating Nelson in the finals by a score of 42-37. Jake Tweedie lead all scorers with 8 pts, and Austin Hamilton provided steady leadership on the floor as the only grade 8 player on the team . The Sled dogs defeated Millerton 49-26 in the Quarters, and Blackville 50-24 in the semis. Brayden Allain led the team in scoring with 35 pts over the course of the 2 day tournament, and logged Bobby Orr like minutes on the floor as the go to guy in crunch time.
Congratulations to the JV Girls Basketball team who placed 3rd at the district finals last night in Sunny Corner. In game one, the girls played their best game of the season and defeated Dr. Losier by 7 points. Nelson came away as the winner of game two, so the girls advanced to play Blackville in the bronze medal game. The girls played a great game and defeated Blackville by 20 points. Great job, girls! A terrific end to the season.
