So the winter sports season has wrapped up and the spring sports are just starting...
Volleyball...
The Junior Girls' team ended with a thrilling match in the Semi-finals against Blenheim.  They pushed it to 5 games and ended losing the 5th game 22-20.  Understand that the 5th game was to only go to 15 points, however, a team has to win by 2 points.... the game was so close that it went all the way to 22-20!  It was an exciting evening in Blenheim and our junior girls played really, really well.  Even though it meant the end of the season, the team came out on a high.  Thanks to Coach Dale Lahey and assistant Seth Roffel.
The Senior Girls' team played in the LKSSAA Finals also at the Blenheim High school.  It also was a thrilling night with our girls playing very well together.  They came out the victors!  This past week they hosted the SWOSSAA Championships which means the winner of Lambton-Kent plays the winner of Windsor-Essex.  The Maranatha Christian Academy Panthers came to play our Flames.  These two teams have not seen each other since elementary school battles.  Maranatha ended up winning in 5 games against our Flames.  It was a tough battle but a very unique situation with these two Christian schools facing off at this level.  At the end, before handing out the hardware and before offering congratulations, Mr. Bierling called both teams in together and in the huddle, he was able to pray to God to offer thanks and praise.  Thanks to Coaches Ingrid Lahey and Patricia Sluys.
