Congratulations to the St. James Catholic Elementary School Junior Basketball A Team that captured the Gold Medal in last weekend’s SCDSB Tournament. St. James players won both the male and female Most Valuable Player Awards of the tournament. Congratulations to Allie Weiler and Sam MacGillivary.
This is the second gold title captured this season by the team! Thank you to Coach, Mr. Denomme, Niki Denomme and school representative Ms. Denomme.
The St. James Junior Basketball B Team coached by Sarah Denomme also participated in the tournament and did very well.
Thank you to Mr. Lariviere for convening and organizing the board-wide St. James Invitational Tournament.
Way to go St. James Bears!
