It was the second consecutive year, that Morrow and Douma were named the school’s top athletes, and they were joined by Thompson who was named co-winner of the top female athlete with Morrow.

In addition to the overall win, Douma was named senior boys basketball MVP by coach Julie Iwachniuk and senior boys basketball MVP by coach Trevor Thompson.

Morrow was selected the senior girls basketball MVP by coach Mark Lewis and Thompson was selected this year’s track and field MVP by Trevor Thompson. In addition, Thompson was presented the Nathan Last Award of Excellence by figure skating coach Sharon Last.

“Both girls participated in multiple sports and both were integral members of their teams,” said Trevor Thompson as he announced this year’s winners. “Both will be missed at Seaway.”

Leading up to the presentation to Douma, Thompson said, “a top athlete must not be just an athlete who participates, but one who excels and one who his teammates look up. Ryan played his heart out this year on the court and on the field.”

Midget B Lions wind up

January 28, 2015 Editor Sports

 

As the regular season winds down the South Dundas Midget B House Lions are winding up, this week adding a pair of strokes to their win column as they hold solidly to their second place standing in the Southeast division of the Upper Canada Minor Hockey League.

The Lions got it rolling last Wednesday night (January 21) in Morrisburg, with a 4-2 victory over the visiting Brockville #2 Braves, and then on Saturday, they collected a big 9-3 win over the South Stormont #2 Selects.

Tyler Nelson (from Matt Backes) and Logan Hummel (from Kody Arsenault and Drew Gillard) gave the Lions a 2-0 first period lead against the Selects.

The Selects charged back in the second period with Ty Fetterly and Andrew Lalonde goals to tie the game at 2-2. 

But the Lions quickly recovered with two goals from Nelson, the first unassisted and the second with help from Ewen Baril on the Lions power play.

The Lions carried their 4-2 lead into the third period and then stretched it to 6-2 with a power play goal from Drew Gillard, assisted by Nicolaassen and a Nicolaassen counter assisted by Matt Backes.

Bailey Gillard finished the Selects scoring with 8:40 left on the clock, setting the stage for another three Lions goals. 

Logan Hummel counted the first assisted by Jonathan Mayhew and then it was over to Noah Picotte for a pair. Tyler Nelson and Cassie Hummel assisted on the first and Nelson added his help on the second for the 9-3 Lions win.

Last Wednesday night, the Lions took a slim 1-0 first period lead against the Brockville 2 Braves on a Kody Arsenault goal assisted by Mitchell Woodward and Drew Gillard.

Their 1-0 advantage lasted until early in the second period when Josh Smith struck for the Braves to even it 1-1.

From then on the Lions took charge with goals from Matt Backs, Drew Gillard and Woodward which allowed them to carry a 4-1 lead into the third period.

Mason Cottie got one early on for the Braves to make it 4-2 but that was it, and the Lions held on for the 4-2 win. 

Earning assists on the three second period goals were Woodward, Noah Picotte, Tyler Nelson, Cassie Hummel and Backes.

South Grenville 2s lead the division with 28 points, while the Lions are in second spot with nine wins, eight losses and three ties for 21 points. Third place is held by the NGS 2s with 12 points.

The Lions will be on the road for their next game and will be on home ice February 4 at 8 p.m.

The regular season schedule wraps up for the UCMHL on Sunday, February 15.
