Last week at Rainy River High School there was a “Bridging the Gap” volleyball tournament.
Grade 8 students, including the Riverview Royals, Big Grassy Timberwolves, Our Lady of the Way Voyageurs, Sturgeon Creek Sturgeons and the McCrosson-Tovell Wolverines participated in a 3 on 3 tournament and had an introduction to High School.
Tours of RRHS were given by Mr. Arpin’s grade twelve gym class. The day was a great success thanks to everyone who participated and helped out.
In High School Sports this week the Girl’s Hockey Team is playing Warroad Tuesday night at 5:30. On Tuesday, November 28, they will be meeting B.E.S.T.E. in the Baudette Arena.
The boy’s hockey will travel to their first two games; the first one on Saturday against Bemidji and then on Tuesday they are off to Hallock to play Kittson Central. Good Luck to both teams!
