Welcomes and Goodbyes (but just for now)

Coach Benn and Coach Doucet
Boys Basketball
The boys’ basketball team brought outstanding intensity to the court this week in their thrilling matchup against Vanier! The game stayed close from start to finish, with our players showing grit, hustle, and determination every step of the way. In a true nail‑biter, they came up just short, but their teamwork and heart made the game an exciting one to watch. Great effort, boys!
Looking ahead, the action continues as the Acadie A and B teams play on Tuesday, February 3rd against Lasalle:
- A Team: 4:00–5:00 p.m.
- B Team: 5:00–6:00 p.m.
For boys interested in recreational basketball, information about gym time and opportunities to play 3-on-3 will be available toward the end of February.
