The following are HHSS sports briefs for the week ending Sept. 29.

The girls’ rugby team took on St. Mary’s in their first game of the season on Monday Sept. 25. They pushed through the heat and played an amazing game falling just a few tries short of a win.

Last week the girls’ field hockey team travelled to Peterborough. They played three hard-fought games and ended the day with a win. Shout out to Kendra Anderson for scoring two goals in the last game.

Congratulations to Sam Longo on a courageous performance at the Kawartha golf championships in Peterborough last week. Solid season Sam.

Congratulations to our cross-country running team on their great showing at the Hoya Hills Invitational. All of our runners were among the top 25 in their fields. Our top finishers were Isaac Little with a third and Jonas Moghini with an 11th place finish.

On Thursday Sept. 28 the junior boys’ volleyball team travelled to St. Thomas to compete in the first tournament of the season. The boys improved as the day went on building on their foundation.
