Outstanding day on the soccer pitch for our Junior Girls and Boys teams yesterday. Both squads came away with shootout wins over SFDCI and will play for the LCIAA Championships tomorrow. Our Senior Boys squad put up a game effort, but came up on the wrong end of a 3-2 score against CPHS. The Tennis team is in Kingston competing in the EOSSAA Championships today. Go Spartans Go!
