Rugby
The junior boys rugby team hosted a great day of rugby here at CPC. The boys first game was a close match against Lakefield College. Unfortunately we just ran out of time and fell short by one try. Jonas Weissland scored 2 tries and Max Dolman scored 1 try, Jacob Hanning added 1 conversion in game 1. The second game of the day saw our CPC lions face off against The Toronto French School. The boys dominated the game from start to finish and won 14-7. Jonas Weissland scored his second try of the day (which should have been his third!), and Callum Braund added an end to end try. Jacob Hanning finished off both tries with 2 successful conversions. The final game of the day the Lions faced the undefeated RSGC. It was a tough first half but the boys finished strong with 2 more tries coming from Jonas Weissland. Great job boys!
The U14 Rugby Team had their best tournament of the season at the Sterling Hall School. The boys showed good teamwork, quick thinking, and athleticism over their three matches. It took the boys a little bit of time to warm up, as they lost their first match, tied the second, but won their third match against SHS. Every player made great contributions to the matches, but there are a few special recognitions. Mateo Rocha and Aedan Armstrong-Fogarty supported each other, and ran over half the field to score a try. Liam Wagner plowed through his opponents in the end zone, scoring his first try of the season. Jet Lam dodged through the other teams, scoring one try each game. Coaches Birrell, Peerenboom, and Wappel are very pleased with a great day of rugby!
The senior boys rugby played an excellent day of rugby up at Holy Trinity School. The boys finished with 2 wins over Ridley College and Holy Trinity. Try scores were Ryan Mann with 3 tries; Aren Karshafian with 3 tries; John Mainprize with 5 tries; Mert Tutco added a try and Braden Harris had 1 try and multiple conversions. Congratulations to the team on finishing in 2nd place in our division and making it to the final four!
Soccer
The U14 Girls soccer team hosted the league-leading team from the York School and played its best game of the season. Implementing a formation of 5 defenders, three midfielders and two strikers, our girls kept York’s scoring chances to a minimum, and generated our chances to go on the offensive. While our girls trailed for most of the game, we came close to tying the game with two minutes left in the contest. In the end, our girls lost the game 3-2, but showed what it takes to work as a team and to battle for each and every ball. Kudos goes to the entire team, with particular shout outs to Monica Altschuler who made some spectacular saves, Maddie Milberg and Merve Inan who battled the whole game on defense, midfielder Kate Harding, for being a thorn in the side of York all game, and the goal scorers, Kyra Grossman and Ella Rival. It’s onto to the playoffs with our opponents to be announced shortly. Go CPC!
The U14 Girls soccer team entertained the girls from Trafalgar Castle Monday afternoon. Mr. D described the final result as a Dickens novel, since the it was the best and worst of times for our girls. The good news is that we managed to score 4 goals, with 3 goals coming compliments of Ella Rival, and one goal from Kyra Grossman. The bad news is that Trafalgar scored 8 goals to our 4, as our girls couldn’t find a way to contain their offensive attacks.
A big congrats to the Senior Girls soccer team on yet another win against Trafalger Castle. Everyone played a great game, with special mention to Alexa Gibson our goalie who scored in the second half and Tiana Bailey for her two hard fought goals.
Slo Pitch
The Senior Boys slo pitch team was back at Fenside Park on Monday for their final regular season game vs. Bayview Glen. The game was a see-saw battle, with both teams racking up double digit scores. Crestwood’s David McCall led the way for the Lions with two grand slams, a 2-run homer and a ridiculous 10 total Runs Batted In. After falling behind in the top of the 7th, the Lions were able to put up 5 runs in the bottom of the 7th, leaving the game a 21-21 tie.
The U14 Boys Softball team got back into the win column with a dominating 18-1 victory over Montcrest School. Despite a slow start, the boys’ bats came alive in the second inning, and kept pumping out runs at a relentless pace in the innings to follow. Key to the offense was Alex Korda, who hit a 2-run home run, as well as Ethan Gazer, who had a bases clearing triple. Ethan Adler also had a solid game on the mound, in an excellent bounce-back pitching performance.
Track & Field
The U14 track team travelled to St. Andrews College for a track meet. The team had a great day, setting many personal bests in the varied events. Congratulations everyone!
