The Hornet’s Ultimate team concluded their season with trips to the BC provincial championships over the past 4 days. The Sr. Squad competed in Kamloops on Thursday & Friday. In their round robin play, the Hornets went 1 – 2 with their win coming against Ucluelet Secondary and losses to eventual tournament finalists Surrey Christian School and Chatelech Secondary. This set up a consolation bracket on day 2. The Hornet’s first opponent was Delview Secondary. They played their best Ultimate of the tournament beating them 13-5, setting up a semi-final against Merritt Secondary. The Hornets were tied 11-11 with their valley rival but in the end couldn’t hold on losing 13-11. This set the table for a rematch with Ucluelet for 11th place. The Hornet’s again played their best game of the season finishing off with a win claiming 11th place. Way to go on an excellent season!

The Jr Hornets Ultimate Team travelled to Surrey on Friday to compete in the Tier 1 BC High School Championships. The team was up against some tough competition drawing St. Thomas Moore, Chatelech and Guildford Park in their opening round. The Hornets played tight games against all their opponents but could not get a win on day 1. Day 2 saw the Hornet’s play in some of the wettest conditions imaginable. Their first opponent on the day was Vancouver Christian. The squad played their best ultimate of the season securing a 13-4 win setting up the 13th place match against Burnaby North. This game was a defensive battle with multiple points going over 20 minutes. In the end, the Hornets fell 5-3 finishing 14th place, but should be proud of their effort for such a young squad. Well done hornets!
