Congratulations on coming 2nd at the Duchess Tournament - this was a solid effort by all players!
Our wins against Correlieu and College Heights were close but gratifying, and although we lost in the final to Duchess, we did much better at avoiding their press.  Keep working hard, girls!

Mrs. Menu at the office has asked you to try and get your money in asap as she is done on Friday.
Please let me know if you are going to purchase a jacket/bag!

Girls who have not made team payments are asked to get this taken care of or you may not be travelling with the team after Christmas, sorry!  Partial payments will be appreciated if you cannot make the full payment in one shot!

Please note:  Parents must pick up their girls at Northside.  The bus will not return us to NVSS.

No practice Thursday - we have a game instead.

37-31 Win!

DPTodd Jr. Girls Invitational Tournament - Jr Viqueens played 3 games at DPTodd over the weekend.  We defeated DPTodd 76-16 on Friday, and advanced to play the Duchess 10s. The tenacious defence and press were beyond us and we lost 71-17.  In the game for third place, we won over PGSS 68-23 in a strong display of team effort and comraderie.

The team would like to thank Ron Fawcett for driving on Friday, as well as for his support and 'good humour'.  It was great to see the Fawcetts, the Nakas, the Friesens, Mr. Gauthier, and Mr. Kuharchuk out to cheer for our team between shopping and Christmas parties over the weekend!

This Week - Practices Monday 7 AM, 5 PM  - No practice Wednesday due to Grade 8 games!  No practice Thursday due to Northside game!

Tuesday Dec.6th - Burns Lake is at NVSS.  The Junior Boys and Junior Girls will take on the Burns Lake Lakers.  The grade 9s will be playing this game.  The Junior Girls normally play first so be in the gym ready to go right after school!   We will need some girls to help with the score table (scoresheet, clock, 30-sec clock) for the boys' game, please.
CANCELLED DEC.5TH, SORRY!

Thursday Dec.8th - @Northside.  The Junior Boys and Junior Girls will take on our cross-town rivals.  Be at Northside at 4:30 PM.

Dec.9-10 - NVSS is at Duchess Park Tournament.  We travel with the Junior Boys and Senior Girls basketball teams.  Our first game is Friday evening at 8:30 PM.  Saturday's games will be at 11:30 AM and 4:00 PM if all goes well!

Housekeeping - $$$ - Players are reminded to get their team fees (see Team Expectations) in to the office right away.  Game play is dependent on this.  If you can pay the full $350 immediately, that is appreciated!  Some parents have spoken to me and made arrangements for partial payments - which may be a good idea right about this time.  Thank you for taking care of this matter.  (Players and parents are reminded that fund-raising could help to defray these costs).

 

 D.P.Todd Jr. Girls Tournament
All junior girls are allowed to come to DPTodd. 
In order to ensure that we can field everyone during the tournament, the following will be our plan.

1. If we are allowed, we will play everyone in each game.  
2. If not allowed to play the full squad of 15, we will use the people listed and the alternates will not dress to play that game
3. Those players not getting equal game play over the weekend will make up this game by playing against Ft. St. James on Dec.13th.  No grade 10s will play in the Omineca game, unless unexpected absences require it.
