came back this spring with a very different team. We were missing four key players who helped greatly last year. “We started off strong against a less-ex- perienced team from L’Academie, defeating them 8-1. Then, we lost 8-1 agaomst L’Escale 1. We did not play very well defensively and ultimately that cost us a lot of points. “We needed to win our last match of the round-robin against L’Escale 2 to play in the finals. We won that match 4-2 and got great contributions from everyone. That win set up the rematch of VCI versus L’Escale 1. “We played extremely well defensively, and we were a lot more patient on offense. We were able to let our handler, Cody Horner, make long passes by running nice routes. Our girls matched up a lot better with their girls and played almost flawlessly on the defensive side of the disc. We had a 4-3 lead but L’Escale managed to score with about two minutes left in the regular time to tie it up at 4-4. “A costly turnover by L’Escale with 30 seconds left in the contest allowed Horner to pick up the disc quicker than his defender could get in front of him that allowed him to flick a beautiful half-field pass to a streaking Owen Kerr in the scoring area for a game- winning score. “Our players demonstrated a great atti- tude all day long and went in the final game with nothing to lose. Most of our boys were coming off four soccer games at EOSSAA on the Tuesday and Wednesday that week. Most of them were sore and sunburnt and tired but persevered throughout the day. The result was extremely gratifying for everyone and put a great end to an outstanding season.”
Vankleek Collegiate’s seniors proved they have the best moves when it comes to playing Ultiimate Frisbee. “I am happy to say that we surprised ourselves in the finals with a win over a team from l’Escale,” said Dan Tremblay, coach and organizer of the Vankleek Collegiate Institute’s (VCI) Ultimate Frisbee Challenge. “VCI won 5-4 on a last second catch by Owen Kerr from a mid-field pass from Cody Horner.” The spring challenge tournament saw VCI and Rockland’s L’Escale and l’Académie de la Seigneurie from Casselman take turns against each in an opening round-robin session. L’Escale brought two teams to this year’s spring tournament while VCI and La Seigneurie had one team each. The round-robin matches saw L’Escale 1 8-2 over L’Escale 2, VCI 8-1 against La Seigneurie, then VCI lost 8-1 to L’Escale 1. L’Escale 2 beat La Seigneurie 8-2, VCI went 4-2 over L’Escale 2, and L’Escale 1 slammed La Seigneurie 8-1. The round-robin finished with L’Escale 1 at three wins, VCI and L’Escale 2 both with two wins and one loss, and La Seigneurie with three losses. The finals match was between VCI and L’Escale 1 with the home team getting the last win. “The spring tournament is meant to be development tournament,” stated Tremblay, “where the junior and senior players develop their skills for next year’s Fall tournament which is typically a ‘bring your best team’ with a mix of juniors and seniors to see who will participate at EOSSAA in early spring. We won the Fall tournament last year and
