I rise today to
congratulate the St. Mary’s All Grade basketball team
from the Community of Mary’s Harbour on their terrific
results at the recent provincial basketball
championships held here in St. John’s.
Mr. Speaker, this past weekend, Hoopla 2010 was held
to feature top basketball teams in various rankings from
across the Province. I had the opportunity to attend
some of the games and to be a part of the medal
presentations, and I can tell you, Mr. Speaker, there
were some great athletes amongst these students.
The St. Mary’s Wolves girls’ team won the
championship for the Small School Division after an
exciting playoff against St. Joseph’s All Grade from
Terrenceville who took home the silver medal. The
winning players on the team from my district, Mr.
Speaker, were: Tamara Pye, Lissa Rumbolt, Irene Simms,
Kelly Russell, Carla Rumbolt, Stephanie Sooley,
Alexandra Pye, Leslie Rumbolt, Cassandra Pye, Sara Lee
Campbell and their Coach Todd Farrell. I extend them
congratulations.
Mr. Speaker, I also want to acknowledge the St.
Mary’s Wolves boys team who won the silver medal in the
Small School Division and put forth a terrific effort in
a play against a very strong team from Valmont Academy
in King’s Point. It was a wonderful game to watch, Mr.
Speaker, and I congratulate both teams, and as part of
the Mary’s Harbour boys team I want to extend
congratulations to: Matthew Rumbolt, DJ Rumbolt, Colin
Rumbolt, Taylor Farrell, Owen Randell, Courtney Pye,
Kevin Farrell, Kenny Snook, Andrew Cumby, Cody Ryan,
Morgan Snook, Shane Ryan and Daniel Johnson.
I ask members of the House to join me in
congratulating all four of these teams for their
outstanding performance in high school sports within the
Province.
