We made HTS history with our first-ever Winter Sports Fest! The energy was absolutely electric as we came together to celebrate our graduating grade 12 students by showcasing the incredible talent within our athletics program. It was a day filled with school spirit, exciting competition and unforgettable moments that will surely be talked about for weeks to come.
The action-packed schedule featured two thrilling matchups that had everyone on the edge of their seats. First up, our Senior Girls Volleyball team took on the formidable De La Salle team at 1:00 pm. The back-and-forth volleys, impressive digs and powerful spikes kept the crowd captivated throughout the match. Following the volleyball excitement, our Senior Boys Basketball team faced off against a tough St. Andrews College team at 3:00 pm. The fast-paced game, skillful dribbling and nail-biting shots had the gymnasium roaring with every basket.
From the first serve to the final buzzer, the gymnasium was buzzing with excitement. The stands were transformed into a sea of blue and jerseys as students, faculty and families showed their unwavering support for our HTS athletes. The spirit was contagious! Everywhere you looked, you saw students decked out in blue, sporting temporary hawk tattoos and banging inflatable thunder sticks. The noise in the room was creating an incredible atmosphere of camaraderie and school pride. You could feel the energy in the room!
And what's a school event without a visit from our beloved mascot, Hawkeye? The gymnasium erupted in cheers when Hawkeye made an appearance, adding to the fun and festive atmosphere. Hawkeye's high-fives and playful antics brought smiles to everyone's faces.
The Winter Sports Fest was more than just games; it was a celebration of our amazing student-athletes and the dedication they pour into their respective sports. It was a chance to witness their skills, their teamwork and their passion firsthand. The day was a resounding success and we can't wait to make it an annual tradition! A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support our Hawks and make this inaugural Winter Sports Fest such a memorable event! We're already looking forward to next year!
