CASS Athletics

Congratulations CASS Grad Marathon Runner

Darlene Falls successfully completed her marathon run in Athens, Greece running for Team Diabetes.  Her event took place on the site of the first Olympic marathon race and finished in the original Olympic Stadium.  Her parents were able to join her there and she really appreciated the support from CASS students.  We especially loved that she proudly wore her "Property of CASS Athletics" shirt in Greece and assures us that she'll be wearing her Husky socks to continue training.  Congratulations Darlene!

CASS Hockey Re-scheduled

Senior Boys Basketball Team struggle at Tip-Off Tournament

The Senior team had an inconsistent outing at White Pines over the weekend. The team showed sporadic signs of greatness in all three games versus St-Basil's, St-Mary's, and White Pines. Unfortunately, the team performed numerous physical and mental mistakes which resulted in a winless weekend. The team needs to sychronize their efforts in order to put together a great 32 minute team game. The boys will need to 'punch the clock' (work hard) at monday's practice if they wish to be a successful basketball team.

Hockey Captains Named

  Congratulations to Mike Linley who has been appointed the Captain of the CASS Huskies Hockey team for this season. At the age of 16 years, 9 months, Mike becomes the youngest captain in the teams modern day history. His leadership skills on and off the ice will definitely help the team achieve success this season. Also joining Linley as Alternate Captains are Denver MacFarlane who will be the voice of the defensemen with his three years of experience and Seth Campbell and Brent Hurley who proved last season and into the start of this year that they have what it takes to lead the Huskies. Congratulations boys!

Festival of Trees

This past Tuesday CASS Student Council entered a christmas tree into the Lung Association's Festival of Trees for our second year in a row. Last year we used pop corn and cranberry strings to give our tree a homey feel. This year we went with Red and Gold Ornaments that had been signed with sharpies by a large percent of the school population. It was finished on the 17th to be judged from the 19th until the 22nd. This is a great event for a great cause and we are proud to support it. Special thanks; to Josh Hatherly, Courtney Vaughn, Rebecca Gjos, and The Biggar Family.
 
Thanks Alex
