CHINOOK SCHOOL DIVISION SPORTS REPORT

Submitted by Deb Reamer, Athletic Coordinator

                It was a good weekend of wrestling for the Swift Current Comp team as they captured 3 gold and 1 bronze medals at the SHSAA provincial championships.  The team composed of 11 wrestlers travelled to Saskatoon on March 11 & 12 to participate.  On the female side, Malisa Collier captured the gold medal in the under 44kg category.  Placing 4th was Sutten Grannitsos and 5th was Courtney Forfar.  In the female under 53kg category, Aleah Nickel received a bronze.  On the male side, Brock Doerksen was the gold medalist in the under 77kg while Austin Shopa received gold in the under 100kg.  Overall, the Comp was 6th in the team category.  Congrats to all the Swift Current Comp wrestlers and their coaches Allen Blanke, Daniel Marchand and manager Tracey Martin!

                It was a tough weekend on the courts for the SW basketball teams.  SHSAA regionals were played throughout Saskatchewan with a trip to HOOPLA on the line.  In the 1A boys’ category, Frontier travelled to Coronach where they took on the #4 seed in the province.  The final score was Coronach 102 – Frontier 28.  On Saturday, the Raiders took on Stoughton in the consolation losing 86-36.  The #3 seeded Herbert boys hosted a 1A boys regional.  The Laurels took on Central Butte in their first game Friday and cruised to a 109-28 victory.  This set up a match against the LCBI Bisons on Saturday.  It was an extremely close, exciting game.  It came right down to the wire!  Despite sinking a last second 3 point shot, the Laurels were edged 77-76 by the Bisons.

                The Shaunavon boys hosted the 3A boys regional as they were also ranked #3 in the province.  On Friday night, the Shadows played a team from Meadow Lake – Jonas Samson.  This was a very young team as they were all grade 9’s but they certainly impressed everyone with their shooting and passing ability.  The Shadows went on to win the game 84-42.  On Saturday, the Shadows took on Indian Head in the final.  They were ahead most of the game but just could not finish and lost 81-73.

                In 5A action, the Swift Current Colts played at Yorkton.  In the first game, the Colts were downed by Estevan 87-73 but rebounded on Saturday on the consolation side to win 78-62 over Balgonie.

                In girls’ play, #7 Herbert Laurels travelled to #2 Middle Lake.  The Laurels had a great first game beating Hepburn 40-39.  But on Saturday, they lost to the host Middle Lake 61-38.

                The #5 Shaunavon Silhouettes travelled to #4 ranked Kinistino.  The Silhouettes beat Naicam 81-64 in Friday match up but fell to Kinistino on Saturday 75-62

                The Swift Current Ardens travelled to Prince Albert to take part in 5A girls’ play.  The Ardens got past Estevan in their first game 46-41 but lost to the eventual winner Notre Dame 62-51. 

                With the conclusion of wrestling, basketball and curling, we are now onto the last two sports of the year.  Badminton is well underway with playoffs starting in late April.  Track will begin right after the Easter holiday.
