For the first week in a long time, this past week was not too busy. The only winter teams that still fought in playoffs were HT’s curling team and senior boys’ hockey team. Special congratulations go to the midget boys' basketball team who finished their season with a Halton championship! On Thursday, we celebrated all of our winter sports teams at the school pep rally.

Weekly Sports Round-Up Feb. 16-22
By: Izabela Pitula
Another eventful week has passed by. Our winter sports teams have taken the court or the ice by storm and fought for the playoff run. Midget boys’ basketball team played their first playoff game this season and won it. On Tuesday at Sheridan College, they will face Craig Kielburger's team in a playoff final. Best of luck to our rookies as they fight to be crowned Halton Champions and bring the victorious banner home. Whether it's a win or a loss, we are proud of you, Titans! HT’s junior boys’ basketball team, who were undefeated in the regular season, played Christ the King last week in a quarterfinal game which resulted in a win with a very high score. They faced Bishop Reding this past Thursday in a semi final game. Unfortunately, the boys lost that game with the score of 71-64. Throughout the season, the boys left their hearts out on the court. They trained each and every day in order to bond, gain power and chemistry. The team played well in a Thursday loss, but the luck wasn’t there. Congratulations to the team and the coaches on a phenomenal season and better luck next year! The senior boys’ basketball team also ended their playoff run also in a loss to Bishop Reding. Just like the juniors, the seniors had an amazing season and playoff run. Heads up boys, next year will be our year!
On Thursday, the senior boys’ hockey team played their last regular season game as they beat the Craig Kielburger team with a score of 7-5. The boys were joined by members of the senior girls' team to play in the annual staff-student charity hockey game. The boys will start the playoff run this week starting tomorrow when they face Notre Dame in the morning in the preliminary round. Good luck Titans, may the puck be in your favour!
On Wednesday, our junior girls’ volleyball team played in the semi-final game against Georgetown, but unfortunately the girls lost that game with 2-0 in sets. It is a sad ending to the volleyball year, but good luck to our teams next year!
Unfortunately, most of our winter sports teams didn’t make it far in the playoffs, but it’s not the end of the world. Junior & senior boys’ basketball teams and junior girls’ volleyball team should be proud of themselves for their achievements this year as well as they must know that they represented Holy Trinity with pride and dignity. Thank you, Titans! Even though these teams are out of the playoff picture, let's not forget about our midget boys’ basketball team as they play in the playoff final this week and our hockey boys entering the playoffs. Come on out HT and support your fellow peers! Lets celebrate the outcomes together!!!
As always, LETS GO TITANS!!!

Weekly Sports Round-Up Feb. 9-15
By: Izabela Pitula
Another great week is behind us. HT's finest winter sports teams competed to close out the regular season and began preparations or even already began the playoffs. The midget boys' basketball team won both games with high scores on Tuesday, February 5th against Robert Bateman and Burlington Central. The boys' are undefeated throughout the season as they enter the playoff run beginning this Wednesday against Bishop Reding. Come on out HT and support the boys! The junior boys' basketball team are also undefeated in the regular season. The team already began the playoffs on Thursday against Christ the King in the quarter final where they defeated the opponent by the score of 81-36. Juniors take on Bishop Reding on Thursday, February 19th in the semi final game. Let's come out together Titans and show our black and gold spirit! The senior boys' basketball team played their quarterfinal game against King's Christian Collegiate which they won by the score of 72-50. The team takes on Bishop Reding's team this Thursday in the semifinal game.
Senior boys' hockey team played Corpus on Tuesday but lost that game 5-1. The next game, the team took on Frank Hayden and won it 6-3. The boys will play this Tuesday against Nelson at the River Oaks Arena in rink B so come on out and support our team!
The junior girls' volleyball team closed out the regular season with a 2-1 win against Craig Kielburger this week as they prepare to face off Georgetown in the AAAA semifinal game on Wednesday. Good luck ladies! The senior girls' volleyball team took on Oakville Trafalgar team on Monday which resulted in another loss. On February 10th, ladies played their final game of the season against Craig Kielburger. Coming into this matchup, they were winning less. The girls wanted to win the last game of the season and for some of them the last game ever in HT's uniform with pride and dignity and they did just that. It was a hard fought battle but HT came out with a 2-1 win. This year was not good for our girls, but they never gave up and played until the last whistle in each game and we thank them for that.
The Holy Trinity swim team concluded their season with the GHAC championships. Swimmers from Trinity were able to qualify for OFSAA as they were edged out by a matter of seconds. Thanks and congratulations go to the coaches and athletes on a fantastic season in the pool.
HT's ski and snowboard team had an exciting week with three Titans advancing to OFSAA. Congratulations to Hannah, Leah, Rachel, and Shannon!
As the Titans' faithful enter the playoffs, we wish them all the best in achieving their goals as well as in representing our school well. Each game is very important therefore the support is needed from the fans. Titan fans are the best. Our spirit rises high above everyone else. Let us come to our teams' games and support them by showing our true Titan spirit!!! If you can't come to the away games then come out to the ones held at our gym. Let's celebrate together HT fam!!!
Win or lose, I'm proud to be a Titan! LETS GO HT!!

It was another busy week for Trinity sports teams. The midget boys basketball team opened the second half of the season with two wins in a day. They played Robert Bateman school and Burlington Central. The boys are still undefeated and are third in the Richardson division with 16 points. The junior boys basketball team lead the standings in the Tier 1 division, also undefeated. The boys played on Tuesday and Thursday this week against STA and Corpus, winning both games with high leads. The juniors take on Christ the King and Jean Vanier teams this week in their final games in the regular season before they start playoffs. The senior boys basketball team played STA, winning that game 73-45. Two days later the team played Corpus, but unfortunately lost by 8 points. The seniors play their final games of the regular season this week before they enter their playoff quest. All three basketball teams are doing very well this season, being atop of the standings, but the battle begins after this week. The playoffs are coming, but only one team will be crowned the champions. Good luck to our boys and whatever happens, Titans are proud!!!
The senior boys hockey team took on Notre Dame and M.M. Robinson teams and won both games. The boys continue to play well and build chemistry that will be needed for the playoff season. The team faces Corpus on Tuesday following the game on Wednesday vs Frank Hayden. Come one out and support your hockey team, Titans!!!
Holy Trinity's junior girl's volleyball team lost both of their games they played this past week. They played Christ the King on Wednesday where they lost in two straight sets whereas the next day they lost 2-1 in sets vs Oakville Trafalgar. The girls take on the Craig Kielburger team this Tuesday in their final game of the regular season. The senior girls' volleyball team are not doing so well. They still haven't won a game this season and are in the last place of AAAA Division. Ladies lost to Christ the King 2-1 on Wednesday. This week they play two final season games against Oakville Trafalgar and Craig Kielburger in hopes of ending the disappointing season with at least a win. It might not have been the season we all hoped for, but there is always next year. These two last games are away games for the Titan girls, but if you can, please come out and support our team in their final battles.
The Titans' faithful enter this last week of regular season play with high hopes and goals they want to achieve as most of our winter sports teams enter the playoffs. Let us come out and fill the arenas and gyms with our black and gold spirit and show our love and support for our fellow peers. As always, LET'S GOOOOOOOO TITANS!!!

Senior Boys Clash with Corpus on the Hardwood

This past Thursday, the Titans senior boys basketball team went up against Corpus Christi. Nerves were high as the Titans faced the number 1 team in Halton. The first quarter started off slow as the teams were settling. Both teams were struggling to get the ball into the hoop, resulting in a lot of in-and-outs. Ignas Brazdeikis scored 9 out of the 11 points in the first quarter, which ended off with a buzzer beater from Nathan Rourke.
The second quarter brought out more intensity. There were a lot of back-and-forth shots between Corpus and HT, but it ended up with Holy Trinity leading at halftime, 22-21. As the game was coming closer to the end, the drive to win only became stronger. Lucas Orlita scored double 3-pointers which put Holy Trinity in the lead, but not for long. Corpus Christi soon caught up and tied the score. HT fought to win the game in the last quarter but it just wasn’t enough. Corpus Christi won, 48-40. Holy Trinity has a chance to redeem themselves with the upcoming Halton Finals this month. If they continue to work hard and push themselves, they are sure to win against Corpus Christi and win the Halton Finals. GO HT!

January Sports Round-Up
By: Izabela Pitula
2015 has already begun which means it’s time to take risks, find new opportunities as well as face challenges that are awaiting us in the New Year. January was a busy month for our Titans, who came back from the Christmas break as they were occupied with games and tournaments throughout the week. The undefeated midget boys’ basketball team will take on Robert Bateman this Thursday, February 5th. The junior boys’ basketball team leads the Tier 1 Division with 9 wins in 9 games played. They started the second half of the season with two impressive wins against Nelson and Bishop Reding and play again this upcoming Tuesday. The senior boys’ basketball team beat Nelson team by 26 points but the next day, they lost to Bishop Reading by 13 points.
Holy Trinity’s Senior Boys’ hockey team started the new year with big games resulting big victories. They play again this Tuesday against Notre Dame so come out and support the boys!
The junior girls’ volleyball team kicked off the second half of the season with two wins and one loss. The girls look better and better with each game. The girls play on Wednesday, February 4th at 4:45pm in our own, newly-painted gym so come on out and show your Titans’ spirit and support! The senior girls continue to struggle as they have yet to win a game this season. The frustration from both coaches and the players is clearly shown after each match. This year may not be the year for our HT senior girls’ volleyball team, but that does not mean that it’s the end of the world. I have faith, Titan-sized faith, that next year and the years further on, the ladies chosen to play on the senior team will shine and prove the doubters wrong!
This week is another busy one for the Titan athletics. As we all go back to school and work, let us take a moment from our busy schedules to come out to the Titan games and cheer on our fellow teams as they fight for playoff position as well as to achieve their own personal goals. As always: LETS GO TITANS!!!

This past week was very eventful for Titans athletics. The midget boys’ basketball team is still undefeated with six wins. The boys played on Thursday against the L.B. Pearson and Georgetown teams where they demolished their opponents. The team will have a longer break than others but will be back at the court to face Robert Bateman high school in February to defend their undefeated streak. The junior boys came out victorious three times this week to also remain unbeaten as they lead the standings in the Tier 1 Division. The boys will face the Nelson team on January 6th. The senior boys followed in the junior boys’ footsteps as they are also undefeated through seven games. The seniors ended off this calendar year with spectacular games and victories and are awaiting their busy schedule in January.
Senior boys’ hockey team ended off 2014 on a losing note, but it’s only their second loss in seven games played. HT will face STA in January. Come out and show your support for your fellow Titans!
On Tuesday, the HT junior girls’ volleyball team played and beat Oakville Trafalgar with the score of 2-1 in sets. The girls came out tough and showed teamwork as well as a true passion for the game. In four games played, the ladies have lost only one battle. Their next opponent will be Craig Kielburger high school. The beginning of the season for the HT senior girls’ volleyball team has been rough. The ladies are winning less in the four matches already played, but heads up Titans as the season is not done yet! There’s still a long way to go as the girls will have an opportunity for improvement starting in January when they face Craig Kielburger.
2014 was a very successful year for Holy Trinity sports teams. This season, we shared many emotional moments with our athletes and the teams. It was a season with ups and downs, but with the determination, patience, love for the sport and the support from the fans, coaches, families and friends, the Titans’ faithful proved and continue to prove what they’re made of. May the year of 2015 bring us and the Titan athletes joy, health, laughter, and strength for what is yet to come. As always, through thick and thin; LET'S GO TITANS!

Hoops For Hunger Highlights
By: D'Arcy Murphy
The rim was rocking and so was the gym on Wednesday when Holy Trinity took on the Loyola Hawks in basketball action in the HT gym. The game, which tipped off at 1pm, was part of a special event called “Hoops for Hunger”. Students who attended the game brought in a non-perishable food item or $1 donation. The Titans didn’t disappoint their fans, coming out on top in a rematch of the senior girls’ Halton championship game played earlier this fall.
An exciting start to the game took HT to the quarter pole with an 11-6 lead. An even more impressive quarter from the boys made the score 27-10. Highlights from the first half included a three-pointer off glass from Entinosa Eguavoen and a pair of one-handed slams from super senior Lucas Orlita. The veteran’s fast-break points really got the crowd into the game before halftime.
Joining the Holy Trinity students in the crowd were some young students from St. Andrew elementary school. The students had a great time visiting their future school and got a taste of the impressive Titan spirit that has been spreading this year.
In the third quarter, the Titans went on an 18-7 run and blew the doors open on a game that they were expected to win from the outset. Grade 10 student Ignas Brazdeikis, who is a dominant performer on the senior team, dropped nine of his 13 points in that third frame. The fourth quarter closed out the game and the Titans took a 64-35 victory.
Post-game, I caught up with point guard Elijah Lostracco, who had four points in each of the final three quarters. He spoke about the importance of fan support helping the guys play to the best of their abilities; “It’s really nice. We saw the football guys get a lot of support, so this time, for basketball, it felt good. It really got our team energized.”
The Hoops for Hunger match-up followed a 78-34 victory earlier in the week over Georgetown. The boys finished the week with another win, this time over Blakelock by a score of 61-46 on Thursday. Coach Stonkus reflected on the team’s play at the end of the busy week; “I was very pleased. The boys drew a lot of energy from the crowd [on Wednesday] and it really helped them and [kept] them motivated.” He added that the boys’ dedication comes from within and that “these guys are dedicated basketball players.”
The boys have a tough schedule following the Christmas break. The team’s depth and determination are what will carry them through. The balanced lineup makes HT dangerous at any time during the game, and “everyone can play and everyone can contribute”, said Stonkus. This team mentality will be crucial in January. Coach Stonkus concluded by addressing the tough stretch of games after the break against powerhouses from Nelson, Bishop Reding, and Corpus Christi; “After the break there will be a lot of challenges. I think we’re going to go into the break very positive… united as a family.”
Fans can look ahead to more information on the Titans’ upcoming games on the weekly sports round-ups.
An exciting start to the game took HT to the quarter pole with an 11-6 lead. An even more impressive quarter from the boys made the score 27-10. Highlights from the first half included a three-pointer off glass from Entinosa Eguavoen and a pair of one-handed slams from super senior Lucas Orlita. The veteran’s fast-break points really got the crowd into the game before halftime.
Joining the Holy Trinity students in the crowd were some young students from St. Andrew elementary school. The students had a great time visiting their future school and got a taste of the impressive Titan spirit that has been spreading this year.
In the third quarter, the Titans went on an 18-7 run and blew the doors open on a game that they were expected to win from the outset. Grade 10 student Ignas Brazdeikis, who is a dominant performer on the senior team, dropped nine of his 13 points in that third frame. The fourth quarter closed out the game and the Titans took a 64-35 victory.

The HT athletes were hard at work this week as they took on many opponents in various sports. Midget boys were shooting some impressive hoops this past Wednesday as they won both games that day against Iroquois Ridge & Christ the King. The undefeated midget boys’ last games of this calendar year are this upcoming Thursday against L.B. Pearson and Georgetown District, so come out and support your fellow Titans! Junior boys’ team is also undefeated in their four games so far. This week, they had one game against Assumption where they beat them with the score of 64 to 31. Before they go on Christmas break, the team will face the Georgetown team on Tuesday for a fifth straight win. The senior boys’ also took to the court to gain their fourth straight win after beating Assumption by 17 points. They will face the Georgetown team on Tuesday to close out this calendar year. Lots of basketball action this week, so come out and show your Titan spirit in support!
The senior boys’ hockey team is leading the standings in the Richardson Division with ten points in six games played (5W-1L-0T). This week the black & gold boys took on the Georgetown and Christ the King teams, coming out victorious in both. Their next game before going off on a well deserved break is this Tuesday against Oakville Trafalgar at Oakville Arena. Good luck Titans!
On Tuesday, the junior girls’ volleyball team took on the Georgetown Rebels. In the first set, they played with persistence, making amazing dives and some great rallies and therefore ended off the first set with a victory of 25-23. Second set was a hard fought battle by the Titans who made spectacular spikes, serves and blocks, but unluckily they lost that one with the score of 25-24. The third set was also a loss, but the juniors showed teamwork, which is a key for a growing and developing team. On Thursday, the ladies played once again and this time they came out victorious. Their next game is this Tuesday against Oakville Trafalgar. Come out and cheer on the Titans as they play then at 3:30 pm in the HT gym! The senior girls’ volleyball team is out to a rough start as they don’t have a win yet this season. This week, the girls played Georgetown and White Oaks teams losing both games in two sets. Their next game is this Tuesday against Oakville Trafalgar. Fingers crossed for better luck this week, ladies!

For the fall season, two of our very own teams have made it to the playoffs – senior boys’ football and senior girls’ basketball. Now, we all know that the playoffs can be a little stressful, especially with victory on the horizon. With the playoffs just days away, we decided to ask members of the football and basketball teams on how they prepare for the games.
 |
| Khalil likes to get loose before a big game. |
Khalil Olasimbo, member of the football team, offered some very helpful tips on how to prepare for the playoffs:
- Eat right
- Sleep right
- Watch game film
- Watch NFL highlights
- Go for runs
- Heavy training
Jillian Condron, member of the basketball team, offered up some of her own helpful tips on how to prepare for the playoffs as well:
- Run through other teams’ plays
- Put in extra hours
- Listen to motivational speeches from coaches and teammates
- Get hungry for the win
We hope the senior boys’ football and senior girls’ basketball teams will do their best to win their way to a fair shot at victory, and we hope everyone will come out and support their fellow Titans.
GO TITANS!!!

| Come out and support your Titans! |
