Mr. Speaker, the provincials were held in McKay’s this past weekend where six top high school teams from the Small Schools Division participated to determine the champions. Once again, Mr. Speaker, the St. Mary’s All Grade School team won the championship, this time with the girl’s team defeating the host team from E.A. Butler All Grade School in the finals.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the team from E.A. Butler All Grade School on being awarded the most sportsmanlike team, as well as winning the silver medal. I would also like to recognize Stephanie Sooley from the St. Mary’s All Grade team on being awarded the most sportsmanlike player. The other players from her team were: Lisa Rumbolt, Kelly Russell, Carla Rumbolt, Irene Simms, Cassandra Pye, Leslie Rumbolt, Sarah Lee Campbell, Tamara Pye, Jenna Rumbolt, Mayaa Thatchell, Hillary Roberts, Alexandra Pye, and their coaches Todd Farrell and Thomas Simms.

I ask my colleagues in the House to join me in congratulating both of these teams on their success in high school sports in the Province.
