The  string  of  victories  began  last  Monday  when  the  school’s  Senior  Boys  Team  defeated  Aquinas  College  3-1.  On  Tuesday  the  school  swept  a  doubleheader  with  Junior  Boys winning  against  Queen’s  College  3-0  in  the  first  game  and  the  Senior  Girls  going  on  to  defeat St Andrew’s 3-2 in a hard-fought matchup that was tied 2-2 at the half to wrap up the second game. All games were played at the Roscow A Davies Football Field.

Athletic Director Mr Craig Massey is thrilled about the teams' success saying “These were all complete team performances. Our students exhibited great attitudes the entire season. They relished  teamwork  and  showed  great  determination  and  every  one  of  these  athletes  stepped up when their number was called.”

The  school  did  not  enter  a  team  in  the  Junior  Girls  division  as  it  does  not  have  enough  students  to  field  two  girls  teams.  Most  of  the  girls  on  the  championship  senior girls team, including  a  number  of  key  players,  were  in  Grades 7 and 8 competing against much older  athletes throughout the season, making their win much more impressive. This is only LCIS’s second year in the BAISS. With this victory LCIS’s Senior Boys will aim to defend their title in the National Football Championships in May. The Senior Girls will also compete in nationals and the school is hopeful that they can win both the boys and girls divisions.
