The 2015 Holy Trinity Athletic Banquet kicked off this past Thursday. It was a night of prestigious awards, a delicious meal, and a fun dance. The event started off with a wonderful speech by Delaney Hughes. Then, Ms. Olmstead began announcing the first awards with many HT students being given the MVP award for their respective teams. Following the dinner, there was a terrific slide show shown, alongside another great athletic video done by Stipe Crnogorac. 2014-15's Rookies of the Year were Emily Baxter and Stephen Szulc. The Junior Athletes of the Year were awarded to Marley Angus and Caitlyn Bailie. Kevin Yap was the recipient of the Sportsperson of the Year award. Jillian Condron was the recipient of the prestigious Titan Award for dedication to basketball. For the final awards of the evening, the Senior Athletes of the Year were given to Katja Zbogar and Nathan Rourke. After the closing remarks, the tables were cleared and students filled the hall as it had been time to dance! Shoutout to Mr. Joseph for being the DJ!

The athletic banquet was an absolute blast! It was the best way to honour and recognize all of our amazing athletes who have showed a lot of commitment, skill and determination this year! For a recap of the year in sports, stay tuned to the blog and our regular sports updates!

Spring Pep Rally Recap

By: Adrian Flaherty
The 2015 HT spring pep rally was a huge success as students filled the gym to celebrate and look back at the wonderful season all the spring sports teams had. The pep rally began with an amazing highlight video, capturing all the great moments of every Holy Trinity spring sports team. Many teams were recognized, such as track and field, senior boys and girls soccer, junior boys and girls soccer, tennis, badminton, baseball, softball, lacrosse (who made it to OFSAA), and rugby. A fashion show was held, where many sports teams were showcased. For example, two players from a team would walk out and showcase the sport they play. There were also very fun and entertaining activities, such as the egg challenge, the scavenger hunt, and the flip cup tournament between the student athletes and the teachers/faculty. To conclude the last pep rally of the year, a feature presentation by Stipe Crnogorac was shown, which was extremely well-done, creative, and hilarious. In conclusion, the 2015 spring pep rally was a wonderful way to end off the year as many Titans showed a lot of spirit and support for their spring sports team.

Go Titans!

Weekly Sports Round-Up May 18-24

By: Izabela Pitula

Unfortunately, most of our spring sports teams finished their seasons with either missing the playoffs or losing in it. Either way, it was an exciting season with ups and downs, but all of Trinity’s athletes gave their all and played each game like it was their last. It’s a bittersweet feeling to be done a season early especially for this year’s graduates who played their last game ever in black and gold.

Trinity Softball Catches A Victory

By: Erin McMurray
The Holy Trinity softball season kicked off on Tuesday afternoon with a home opener against Iroquois Ridge. Rivalries and closely called games in past seasons made both teams anticipate this long awaited season starter. The runs started off slow, but eventually the Titans pulled the score up, and finished the game with a win of 9-2.

Trinity Baseball Season in Swing

By: Noah Polesky

At first glance, the 2015 edition of Holy Trinity Titans' baseball may just seem like a bunch of grade elevens, a couple grade tens and a handful of grade nines. Then again, it’s hard not to have a prejudice against a team that folded last year and doesn’t look like it’s going to be a contender anytime soon. But, upon further inspection, it is easy to see depth on the mound, on the field, at the plate, as well as behind it.

for those who haven’t seen a team roster yet, here it is:

Weekly Sports Round-Up Mar. 30 - Apr. 5

By: Izabela Pitula

Happy Easter, HT! May you find the renewal of hope, love and the spirit of God. Happy Easter to you and your lovely families!

Now back to business... This past week was mostly a preseason week. Junior and senior boys’ and girls’ soccer teams had their first tournaments to test their team chemistry and skills. The junior girls, coached by Mr. Bonfiglio and Mrs. Richards kicked off the season with a bronze medal at a tournament hosted by Jean Vanier S.S. A two-win, one-loss tournament makes the team very confident that with hard work and dedication, they have a chance at earning a spot at OFSAA this year. Both of the boys’ teams, as well as the senior girls, are getting back into the routine of practice, meetings and upcoming games. The coaches are all convinced it will be another great season for HT Soccer!

Another team in full effect is Titans’ Badminton! Both juniors and seniors participated in a tournament hosted by HT this past Thursday. After a long day filled with rallies between players, the HT Titans came 9th overall at the tournament! With weekly practices and many games in the calendar, the badminton team is determined to have a very successful season!

The junior boys’ hockey team had a tremendous success this past week as they became the first Holy Trinity team to win the Burlington Cup championship! Congrats to the boys on making school history. Good luck in the rest of their season!
 

Stay tuned for more coverage on the Spring season and GOOOO TITANS!!!

Soccer Girls Kick-Off Season with Bronze Medal

By: Noah Polesky

The junior girls' soccer team, coached by Mr. Bonfiglio and Mrs. Richards, earned a bronze medal in their first tournament hosted by Jean Vanier C.S.S. In their three games, they finished the event with a record of two wins and one loss.

In their first game, the girls lost a close game against Corpus Christi with a score of 1-0. In their second game however, they won by a blowout against rival St. Thomas Aquinas 6-1. The offence was led by Haley Griffin and Jocelyn Fletcher, who scored two goals each and Alexa Suarez and Courtney Wilson who both scored one goal. In the final game of the tournament, for the bronze medal, the team played against the host school, Jean Vanier. The girls emerged victorious by a score of 4-1, with goals scored by Jocelyn Fletcher, Sophia Boyd (one each) and Alexa Suarez (two goals). Not to be forgotten were the keepers; Eilidh Major and Caitlyn Baillie, who only allowed three goals against in the entire tournament.
 

When asked about the team’s performance in the tournament, striker Sophia Boyd said, "In my opinion, we were the best team in that tournament, we ran into a tough team like Corpus Christi, but we could beat them if we played again. We just need to keep playing like we were, as a team, and we can take on anyone." Also when asked how she felt about the team in the coming season, midfielder Jocelyn Fletcher said, “I feel that we have an amazing team and that we are strong in the sense that we will be able to play up to any competition and stand our ground. If we keep playing at the level we are now, I think we have a good chance at making it into OFSAA."

The girls' next tournament is April 14 at Holy Trinity, stay tuned for details, stats, and scores. 

GOOOO TITANS!!

The spring training for various sports such as soccer, badminton and rugby is underway. While most of the teams are finalized, some still need a little bit more time. Good luck to all participants! Keep reading to see a list of team rosters for this Spring!
