Congratulations!

Congratulations to our Junior and Senior Boys' Football Teams for their outstanding performances in the Halton Football Championships held at McMaster University. Our Junior Boys' gave their best effort throughout their game against Milton District but had to settle for the silver medal in a 21-6 loss. The score was not indicative of the solid play as our team had some good chances that bounced the other way in Milton's favour. Congratulations to this excellent young team on a great season and status as the Halton Finalists! Special thanks to our coaching team (Kris, Lawrence, Al and Mike) for your outstanding leadership, coaching and mentorship of our young student/athletes. You did us all proud! In the senior game against our cross-town rivals, Oakville Trafalgar, our team was at their peak performance, as they won the game by a wide, 43-0 margin. This was a fantastic win for our boys,who have played all year,with grit and determination. Led by a very solid coaching team (Mike, Scott and Junior), our seniors benefitted from a committment to hard work and exemplary sportsmanship in each and every game they played. You are now Halton Champions and Gold Medallists! Way to go, Ridge! A very special thanks to all of our parent, student and staff supporters and to Marie Guest and the Healthy Active Living Team for organizing ticket sales and seven bus loads of fans to the game. It was a very beautiful day for football and a great opportunity for our school to demonstrate their school spirit and pride in both of our teams! Truly awesome!!
