Athletic Highlights: May 8th - 12th

Welcome back to your favourite once in a while athletic review! Let’s see what’s going on with sports and Mackenzie!

Volleyball:

When you place the 3 boys and 3 girls from Mackenzie’s amazing volleyball teams, there’s practically no team that can stop them. You know it’s a bit of a slaughter when the game barely lasts half an hour… For the last game of the season, a couple of Mackenzie’s players seemed to have to leave early as they barrelled the volleyball onto Downsviews court over and over. With a convincing score of 25-06 and 25-06, fans were able to watch a game, and still catch their bus to go home! And with that win, Mackenzie’s Co-Ed volleyball team goes into the quarterfinals undefeated!

Track and Field:

Soccer:

Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day
We want to go outside and play
Come again some other day

The varsity girls soccer team absolutely loved the muddy conditions for their game against Earl Haig! With mud, hair, and cleats flying everywhere, the team ran onto the field on this nice sunny afternoon. With some great team work and some amazing individual effort, the team was able to pull out a fairly convincing 5-2! Great work girls!

Baseball:

Tier 1:

The boys came out to play against one of Mackenzie’s biggest rivals: York Mills. They played hard, but sadly fell short to YMCI’s quick plays and hard hits. The final score of the game was 1-5, nice try boys!

Tier 2:

The tier 2 team on the other hand had a field day. The boys played against Emery and they decided to show no mercy to the lesser experienced team. The boys scored run after run against the run-less Emery team. The ending score was a blowout 14 - 0 win for Mackenzie.

Final Game Scores:

WLMCI vs. DSS (Co-Ed Volleyball): | 25 - 06 | 25 - 07 |
WLMCI vs. EHSS (Varsity Girls Soccer): | 5 - 2 |
WLMCI vs. YMCI(Tier 1 Boys Baseball): | 1 - 5|
