Now It's Clarke's Girls Team Looking for Volleyball Crown by Chad Maartense It has been almost three weeks since the Clarke senior boys' team captured their OFSAA title and the volleyball program is again hard at work as the senior girls' team opened the season by going undefeated undefeated over six games. Clarke hosted a league tournament tournament on Thursday and easily cruised through each team, winning all six games, virtually without a real challenge. challenge. Just like the boys, this team is coached by Lyn Lowry who is hoping hoping io win one more OFSAA championship championship before he retires in June. According to assistant coach Leslie Leslie Schroeder, this team is quite possibly possibly one of the best senior girls' teams Clarke has ever produced. If they continue their success and win OFSAA, Clarke will be one of the first schools to win both boys' and girls' senior volleyball championship championship in the same year. Clarke's first game was against Haliburton, who proved to be no contest for the strong Clarke squad. Clarke easily defeated them in two games by convincing scores of 15-5, 15-3 with help form Joanna Van- Dyke's five consecutive serves. Next on Clarke's list was the school's old rivals from St. Stephen's. Stephen's. They proved to be no match as Clarke simply overpowered St. Stephen's with excellent hitting and well-placed passes. St. Stephen's Was unable to get the ball past Clarke's stellar defense, which resulted resulted in Clarke winning 15-7,15-9. Clarke's final match of the day was against St. Mary's of Cobourg, and Clarke waltzed all over them. The scores were 15-2,15-8. Clarke ended the tournament, with six points, followed by Haliburton Haliburton with four, St. Stephen's had two, and St. Mary's finished last, with no points. "We played excellent. I was impressed," impressed," said Schroeder on her team's 6-0 record to start the season. Schroeder hopes that, with her team's skill level, they will be able to capture the OFSAA 'A' crown. This is the goal the team has set for this season. Clarke lost several key players from last year's team, but was able to make up for it because of the strength of the junior program. Some of the girls have moved up to play senior, although they are still junior age. Clarke's senior girls' volleyball team is made up of the following players : Piquette Staples, Tara Hayward, Hayward, Tara Rogers, Jill Rypstra, Kate McKelvie, Kirby Eady, Carrie Farrow, Joanna VanDyke, Caroline Fletcher, Alana White, Meagan Davies, Davies, Andrea Hartman. With the exception exception of three players, all will be returning to Clarke next year. Maybe after this season, Clarke will not only be known for the dominant dominant boys' volleyball program, but for the girls' program as well. The Clarke High School senior girls' volleyball team arc off to a perfect start after hosting a league tournament at their school. They are hoping to follow in the footsteps of the senior boys' team, and capture an OFSAA 'A' championship this year.

In the game against the Trenton, Tyke Selects, played in Newcasdc on Saturday night, our boys controlled the game for much of the time, enjoying enjoying a sizeable margin in play and a 17-3 edge in shots on goal.

With under two minutes to play, Richardson Richardson netted the winner, assisted by Matt Best and Adam Cryderman, giving giving the Bowmanville Selects a 3-2 victory. On Sunday afternoon, our boys made the long trek to Trenton to play a Belleville Tyke Select team and found themselves up against a talented opponent with well-honed passing and puck-handling skills. Each team had 11 shots on goal, though Belleville had more quality opportunities. The Belleville boys got off to a fast start, scoring early on one of their numerous numerous breakaways.

Trailing 2-1 in the second period, Adam Cryderman took Bowman- ville's first penalty of the season for bodychecking, and this may have been the turning point in the game. While killing the penalty, Bryan Bar- chard and Mike Richardson narrowly missed scoring. This was followed by a goal-saving defensive play by Rene Cartier. Then Richardson came back and got the crucial shorthanded goal to tic the game, assisted by Barchard. After ringing one off of the post and being stopped twice on nice saves by Gord Baird, Belleville surrendered the lead to Bowmanville on Chris Boyce's first goal as a Select, nicely assisted by Barchard and Richardson.
