This week we have a great story to tell. Meagan Wilson and her mom, Melanie Squire thought of a great idea a couple of years ago. They wanted to share the great sport of rugby with the Indigenous youth in our area, so they created Iroquois Roots Rugby.

Fast forward to this past weekend. With the program flourishing, Meagan was named the National Indigenous Coach of the Year and was honoured at the Petro Canada Sports Leadership Awards Gala in Vancouver.

SHOUT OUTS

•First shout out goes to all of last week’s Norfolk Secondary School Athletic Association champions.

Like I said before. Last week was a busy one.

In girls basketball action, the Holy Trinity Titans took home the senior title, with a 53-34 win over the Simcoe Sabres, while the Sabres junior team won the championship thanks to a 69-29 win over the Titans.

In boys volleyball action, congratulations goes out to the Holy Trinity Titans, who won the NSSAA senior title with a 3-2 nail-biter over the delhi Raiders.

In the junior final, the Simcoe Sabres took home the title with a 3-1 win over the Titans.

Good luck to all of the teams at this week’s CWOSSA championships!

•Next shout out goes to Maddox Callens. The forward from Langton who plays for the Kingston Frontenacs, scored his first OHL goal over the weekend.

We know it’ll be the first of many.

•And a big shout out to Hunter Jones. He was huge in Team OHL’s loss to Russia Monday night in London during the CIBC Canada Russia Series.
