Sports round-up: OFSAA podium finishes in curling, skiing, and wrestling for SCDSB schools
Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) schools have a long-standing tradition of excellence in athletics. Student-athletes compete in the Simcoe County Athletic Association (SCAA) during the regular season, and represent the SCDSB and their schools in the Georgian Bay Secondary School Association (GBSSA) and Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) championships.
The winter sports season is complete, and SCDSB student-athletes represented their schools and the entire board with style, bringing home 12 GBSSA team championships.
Slightly warmer temperatures proved to be ‘snow’ problem at the OFSAA Alpine Skiing championship, as SCDSB athletes had 18 top-five finishes in the individual and team events. Hayden D., from Nottawasaga Pines SS, was on top of the mountain with gold medal performances in the Para-alpine Giant Slalom and Slalom events! It wasn’t all ‘downhill’ for SCDSB skiers, who had seven top-five finishes at the OFSAA Nordic Skiing championship.
At the OFSAA Wrestling championships, SCDSB student-athletes dominated the mat, with three gold medals and an additional nine top-five finishes.
The Girls’ Curling team from Bear Creek SS swept the competition off their feet on their way to an OFSAA bronze medal, while in Boys’ AAA Hockey, Nantyr Shores SS scored a fourth-place finish at OFSAA.
