Warriors at NORWOSSA

On Friday, all four Sioux North High School Warriors court sports teams took part in the NORWOSSA playoffs in Fort Frances.
The day started with the Jr Semi Finals where in basketball the Jr Girls Warriors team squared off against the Dryden High School Eagles and the Jr Boys Warriors Volleyball Team played the Fort Frances High School Muskies. Despite strong starts from the teams, both ended up losing eventually, seeing Fort Frances take the championship in jr girls basketball and Beaver Brae Secondary School for volleyball. 
In senior girls basketball the Warriors were up against the Dryden Eagles who had beaten them twice in the regular season. However, with strong defensive play and rebounding along with Ale Rae and Honey Necan’s offensive efforts, the Warriors were able to upset the Eagles and advance to the finals against Fort Frances. In the finals the girls gave all they had left. Claire Sayers carried the load offensively and although tied at half, ran out of gas in the fourth quarter and came up just short of another upset. Good luck to Fort Frances in Thunder Bay. 
In Senior Boys Volleyball the 1st place Warriors had a bye to the finals. Beaver Brae and Fort Frances faced off in the semi-finals in an intense 5 set match that saw Beaver Brae win their ticket to the finals. In the Finals, the Warriors were down in the first set until Dawson Suprovich sparked an epic comeback with consistent serving to capture set one. Set two and three saw much of the same where in the end, the hard hitting Warriors, Trey Ross and Connor Chisel, were too much for the Broncos to handle! The Warriors swept all three sets bringing the trophy back to Sioux Lookout, The team will host the NWOSSA Championship on Friday to compete for a chance to go to OFSAA. Good luck Sr Boys and great job to all the Warriors that represented Sioux North and Sioux Lookout in season 1 of court sports.
