Senior Girls Basketball Final

Highlights from final game against St. Basils.

Our girls turned in a valiant effort and pushed the St. Basil Saints to the wire on route to a 49 to 42 set back. Our girls definitely out worked the Saints which resulted in many turnovers. The girls should be very proud of their effort and how they left everything they had on the court. Abigail Fogg led the Colt attack with 17 points while Adri Ivey added 10 and Sam Iacoe chipped in with 9.
The coaching staff and girls would like to thank the fans who were simply outstanding. You were definitely a difference maker. You were loud and the girls definitely fed off that positive energy. Korah hosts NOSSA this year.
Congratulations go out to Abigail Fogg who was this years winner of the Referee’s Award which
combines sportsmanship and athleticism.

The DU

Karl

On October 8th, 2010, Korah’s leadership class hosted its annual students and alumni duathalon. This year’s du course was set up in the surrounding Korah neighborhood and consisted of a 5km run, a 20km bike and a 2.5 km run. A total of 56 participants competed in both the team and individual categories.
The first place overall team consisted of Spencer Hogan, Scott McCrone and Matt Cuddy, the runner up team included Jack Carlyle, Brenden Carson and Stephen Erickson. In the individual category Mr. Wilson took first place, followed closely by Karl Zimmermann, while the best costume award went to Jaimee Carter, Claire McCarthy and Evelyn Steele. Many excellent door prizes were donated, including a mp3 player donated by Sarah and Steve McLeod, which was won by Lesia Kinach. Eric McAlister won a weekend stay at Maple Cove Cabin in Ranger Lake, donated by the Piazza family.
A thanks goes out to all of the sponsors who generously donated prizes, gift certificates and monetary reimbursements. Hope to see a great turnout at the 2011 Korah Duathalon!
