Soccer
The U14 Boys soccer team’s final regular season match against the visiting Bayview Glen School. Despite the foul conditions – and the fact that the soccer ball was like a bar of soap out on the pitch – our boys continued their winning ways downing BVG 3-2. The game was marked by some gutsy defending, goal tending, and pressing, and by three spectacular tallies by Jesse Codron, the team’s goal scoring leader. Our boys finish the season in commendable fashions, with only one loss, three wins and one tie, which means that they have earned home field for the their playoff match against Ridley next Wednesday at 3:15 PM. In addition to the players, a special thanks to our fans, including the families and teachers, that have been cheering the team on since our first game. Looking forward to seeing you ALL on Wednesday for what promises to be a competitive and highly entertaining must-win playoff match. Go CPC Go!!!
The senior boys soccer team dominated this week with wins against Upper Canada College and Lakefield College. The boys put on quite a show in their game against UCC during the first half with some brilliant combination passes which seemingly caught UCC off guard. Especially when Braden Harris tested their back line by showing the utmost skill to get by their defense, and sent in a masterful cross for Spencer Cohen to finish and put CPC up 1-0. While UCC tried to generate an offense, it was quickly shut down by a jaw dropping 35 yard goal by Matthew Yanovski. Shout out goes to Chris Saunders for his well deserved Shut out! Coaches Johnstone and O’Connor are proud of how well the team played yesterday and hope to carry the momentum into Wednesday’s home game vs. Lakefield. We would love to see CPC’s support, as the boys continue their pursuit to the top, and extend their undefeated season.
Lakefield took advantage of CPC’s slow start and scored 15 minutes into the game. Matthew Yanovski would soon after answer back with a bullet, bar down to tie the game 1-1. CPC was just starting to settle into their possession style game, when a penalty kick was called against them. Chris Saunders, showing the utmost confidence, hypnotized the shooter as he danced along his goal line, he made a terrific save to keep CPC in the game. Braden Harris put CPC ahead by showing poise infront of the net and slipped one by the LCS keeper. Only to be answered back by LCS to tie the game 2-2. The final goal came from Cole Morrison, who put a well placed header by the keeper to win the game. Coaches O’Connor and Johnstone were pleased with the result and support from the school, this win moved the senior boys into 1st place. Their next home game is next Tuesday vs. Greenwood. Hope to see you all there!
The Jr. Boys’ Soccer team hosted Lakefield College. The first half of the game showed off a strong defensive effort by everyone on the team as they kept the opposition from getting any chances on our net. Unfortunately, due to fatigue and a few errors, we gave up a goal early in the second half. In order to try to get back into the game, we changed our strategy to play a more offensive style. Although we created more chances, we were unable to capitalize to tie the game. Our final game is this upcoming Monday against UCC.

The Senior Girls Basketball team played their final game of the season against Trafalgar Castle. The game got off to a slow start as it took some time for our girls to find their footing and comfort. Entering the second half the girls knew what they had to do and put up a very strong team effort on both ends of the court. Areeg with 33 pts was the leading scorer- but could not have done it with the superb play by Jahnai Brown, Samantha Mintz, Sydney Steinman, and Willa Easton. A strong defensive game was also played by Jessica Weinberg . The girls wrap up their season with a record of 4 wins and one loss and are looking forward to their Final Four tournament a week from Saturday. Coaches Chau and Pagano are extremely proud of the girls and look forward to bringing home a banner. This is just a reminder that there is a practice after school at 3:15.

In the third set, Crestwood fell behind early on and despite the lions’ best efforts to catch back up, TFS won the set 25-18. In the fourth set, both teams were energized and hungry for a win. However, with Crestwood’s get plays at the net and supportive bench, TFS had no chance! The Jr. Boys play again Wednesday Oct 19th at Lakefield. Go CPC!
The Junior Boys Volleyball Team won their second game of the week against Lakefield College School. The game started off a bit rocky, with the boys losing the first set 26 to 24. However, they shook it off, came back swinging, and won the next three sets. Shout-outs go to K’Shawn Latty for his consistency through all four sets, and Captain Juliu Holanda for hard serves, great hits, and excellent leadership on the court.
They’ve finally done it! Your senior boys volleyball team traveled to Greenwood College School for a double header against GCS and Albert College.
