The Red Hawk junior boys volleyball team had a season to remember, said co-coach Janice Scheffee.
“During their league tournaments, the Red Hawks were competitive with all teams including much larger AA and AAA schools,” she said.
“Facing tough competition each week made the team work harder and develop better skills leading them into the Kawartha Championship tournament seeded first.”
On Nov. 6, at Kenner Collegiate in Peterborough, they dominated St. Thomas, crowning them Kawartha champions and bringing home the coveted Kawartha trophy.
At the COSSA Championships, at St. Thomas Aquinas in Lindsay Nov. 13, they squared off against Nicholson Catholic College from Belleville in the first semi-final. Despite losing the first set, the boys clawed their way back to win three sets sending them to the COSSA finals.
Coming up against a talented Quinte Christian High School, the team played well but fell short losing in three tight sets.
This marks the first time in HHSS history that a junior boys volleyball team has captured a medal at COSSA.
The team was also coached by Brett Caputo. Players were: Lincoln Brown, Gideon Bordgorff, Duncan Evans-Fockler, Will Gallant, Luke Gruppe, Ross Gordon, Jadyn Hamilton, Parker Holden, Levi Joseph, Hudson Meyer, Travis Rowe, Matt Scheffee, Jack Tomlinson, and Jett Wilson.
