Sports This Week: Busy winter schedule for Rosetown Central High athletes
Basketball
Basketball tournaments at Rosetown Central High School start with one for junior girls on Dec. 5-6 and another for senior girls on Dec. 12-13, according to the school sign.
The school’s senior boys basketball team was expected to play in a tournament in Kindersley this weekend, said co-coach Mitchell Wintonyk.
This column stated the Kindersley tournament was to be on the Nov. 15-16 weekend. The Eagle apologizes for any confusion caused by the mistake.
The team consists of six Grade 12 players: Wyatt Perry, Gerald Bonyai, Luke Harrington, Malcolm Ledding, Alex Nickel and Corbin Wiens; and Grade 11 players Vince Marty and Ishaq Reid; and nine in Grade 10: E.J. Claveria, Klaas Woudwijk, Aries Espino, Mark Mofolasayo, Sam Cadieux, Harper Willis, Jaevin Nedjelski, Glen Matro Jr. and Yosef Nasibog.
Wintonyk and returning community coach Ben Cressman will coach them.
Their only action in December will be games in Delisle on Dec. 2 and here vs. the Rebels on the 9th.
The senior boys have a tournament in Biggar on Jan. 9-10. They also have a game in Biggar on Jan. 15.
They also have a tournament in Hafford on Jan. 16-17.
The senior and junior boys teams host Outlook teams on Jan. 20 and again on Feb. 24.
Their own tournament is on Feb. 6-7.
They host the Biggar Blazers on the 12th and play in a tournament in Davidson on Feb. 27-28.
The senior boys might have a game on March 3 but definitely are entered in the Kindersley B tournament on the 6th and 7th. Conference playoffs are set for the 14th and regional playoffs on March 20-21.
Practices are on Mondays and Thursdays and, if no games that week, also Wednesdays.
Bowling
Four bowlers — Hannah Brown Campbell, Layla Vallely, Katherine Lindridge and Joshua Heimbecker — were to compete in the zone round of the Youth Challenge tournament in Lashburn last Saturday.
Local bowlers did all right in masters tournaments held in Regina on Nov. 15-16. Brian Anderson won in the men’s teaching division on the Saturday. Kelly Graham placed second in the ladies’ teaching division in the Sunday tournament. Dale Der won among seniors on Saturday, said Penny Andersen of the local alley.
The last two masters tournaments will be on March 21-22 in Saskatoon.
High school curling
Rosetown Central High School will have a team in junior curling this season. Darby Freistadt will coach and Liz MacDonald will be the school liaison, said school athletics director Mitchell Wintonyk.
Volleyball playoffs
The Rosetown Central High senior boys team finished without a win at regional playoffs in Outlook on Nov. 15.
The Royals played close in their first sets against both Regina Christian School and the Clavet Cougars.
They lost 25-17, 25-11 to the Regina team after the Cougars downed them 25-20, 25-15 in the first match of the day.
The Briercrest Cougars beat the Regina school 25-16, 25-15 in the final. They plus Clavet and Laval of Regina qualified for the provincial tournament hosted by Regina Christian School this past weekend. The Royals and host Blues both saw their seasons end that day.
The Royals’ season went well, said coach Dana Bergerman. “We improved a lot from the beginning to the end. We have a lot of different abilities and skill levels and lots of young kids on our team, so that’s good for the future.”
They played really well that day, said Bergerman. The teams that moved on “were very strong teams,” she said.
