The Scott Young Public School (SYPS) Junior Mixed Soccer Team has made school history, capturing first place at the County Championships for the first time in 12 years!
Made up of 20 boys and girls in Grades 4 to 6, this incredible team began their season together in late September with four exhibition games, winning every match. Carrying that momentum into the championships, they defeated Bobcaygeon Public School and Rolling Hills Public School in the preliminary rounds, followed by Jack Callaghan Public School in the semi-finals.
After an incredible day of four games, the team saved their best for last, defeating Central Senior School 3-0 in the championship game, and finishing their season undefeated with an outstanding 8-0 record!
But this team’s success was about so much more than wins and goals. They played every game with heart, determination, and incredible sportsmanship. They supported one another, faced every challenge together, and never gave up. Their teamwork, resilience, and love of the game made them a true dream team.
“We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the team on their well-earned championship win,” said coaches, Rachel Andrich and Nicole Edgerton. “While their success on the scoreboard is a remarkable achievement, we are even more proud of the exceptional character, determination, and sportsmanship they demonstrated throughout the season. It has been a privilege and honour to coach such an extraordinary group of athletes. We are incredibly proud of you all!”
