Blazing Spirits make history!

by Judianne Jayme

Holy Ghost School (HGS) will have a new banner to decorate their gym wall – one that is making history. The Blazing Spirits girls’ basketball team has earned the title of the Manitoba Catholic Schools Athletic Association’s (MCSAA) Girls Champions in Basketball for the 2015-2016 season. This is the first time that HGS will have a banner won by a female team – all existing basketball banners have been won by the boys’ teams. This particular group of girls, 11 in total from Grades 6 to 8, blazed through the season with 8 wins and 0 losses, as posted on the MCSAA website at the time of publication, taking the title of division champions. Talk about girl power! Congratulations to the teachers, coaches, and to the entire HGS Blazing Spirits team for their well deserved win!
