Warriors on the Team
By: Dylan Kalinowski
On the weekend of October 18th-20th, the Westwood Warriors Ultimate Team slayed the competition at the annual Hold Back the Snow tournament.
The tournament was held Assiniboine Park. The warriors enter the tournament every year. Two months of hard practices and challenging games helped shape the team for the tournament.
The ultimate team fought hard to make it to the finals but came up just short when they lost to the Hopkins Hurt. The final score was 7 to 4.
There are eighteen players on the team, a mix of male and female player, and contain grade 9 to grade 12 players. There are seven on the field at a time, 4 male players and 3 female players.
The Warriors played extremely well this weekend winning eight out of ten games, giving them third place in the tournament and making them number one in the province.
The only teams that beat the Warriors were Hopkins from Minnesota and York from Toronto; the two teams that made it to the finals.
The team that won the tournament was the Hopkins Hurt from Minnesota. That put the York School Gladiators in second place. There was twenty-five teams in the high school Hold Back the Snow tournament. All the teams gave it their best but in the end only one team can walk away the champions.
