Crestwood’s Varsity Softball team had a dramatic, walk-off win May 3rd, to push their record to 2-1. The boys played well in the early going, but then ran into a dry spell offensively, and were behind by two runs going into the final inning. However, after loading the bases with no outs, Aaron Jackson came to the plate and hit a towering grand slam home run which gave the boys a 12-9 victory. Special mention also goes out to Will Paisley, who went 3-3 with 2 RBI, and was a spark plug for the offense, as well as to Andrew Edwards, who had an excellent game hitting, with one home run, and in field at shortstop.
The Junior Boys Rugby team had another successful tournament May 4th at Pickering College. After losing a tight first game against Greenwood College 19-5, the team bounced back to beat their next two opponents. Game 2 we faced Holy Trinity defeating them 14-12. Tries were scored by Brandon Baijnauth and Ty Ellis, with Brayden Harris adding a conversion. Facing the host school in the final game of the day. CPC hammered Pickering College 36-0. Anthony Audett put on a running display scoring 3 tries! Harlan Rich also scored his first try of the season. Congrats on a great day of rugby boys. Next practice is today after school.
On May 6th, the U14 Soccer team marched into Trafalgar School and took no prisoners, as they pressed and rampaged to a resounding 6-0 win. Compliments to Alexa Gibson who notched her second career shutout of the year, and to Angelina Audette and Sydney Tytel who scored 3 goals apiece. The entire team deserves kudos on their relentless pressing which created all sorts of grief and turnovers of their opponents. The win marked the last game of the girl’s regular season and saw them finish the year with an unbeaten record of 3 wins and 1 tie. Next up for the girls…the playoffs. Stay tuned on who they will be facing. Go CPC!
On May 6th, the Senior Boys’ rugby team travelled to SJK to play in their second 3-game event. Their first opponents were a weaker team from Albert College and as expected the team dominated with a 24-7 victory. With no rest, the boys immediately played their second game against the home team from SJK. After building a 12-0 lead, our boys became a bit fatigued in the second half and allowed SJK to come back. In the end, the game was tied 12-12. With a short break before their last game, the team had time to regroup before facing last year’s champions from Rosseau Lake. The boys came out like a team possessed, building a quick 10- 0 lead. From the first whistle to the last, the team tackled harder, ran faster, and were an intimidating force. When the game ended, there was no doubt who was the better team, as we walked off the field with a 24-12 victory. Special mentions must go out to Bennett Harris who embarrassed would-be tacklers with his slick moves on his way to scoring 5 tries. Will Malisch used a slightly different technique, as he just bulldozed through opponents and scored 3 tries. Lastly, there was Benji Gertin, who had the people on the sidelines cringing with every destructive tackle that he made. The team has one more 3-game event next week before heading into the playoffs. Will they head into the playoffs as the only undefeated team? Wait and see.
On May 6th, the Jr. Boys Golf team travelled to Port Hope to compete in the Bears Invitational Tournament. With the course in perfect shape and amazing conditions, Daven Siu and James Gilday played a great drive, chip and putt game, which led to a final score of 81. Joseph Zuckerman and Jordan Sigel fought against the long course and managed to get a well deserved 110. Great Job and Congratulations.
