MSS golfer qualifies for provincial championship!

M鈥機HIGEENG鈥擜va Corbiere of 91性息港 Secondary School (MSS) has qualified for the provincial high school golf championship!

鈥淎va Corbiere and Amy Smith both represented the Island very well and were able to post rounds of 100 and 103 respectively (at the Northern Ontario Secondary School Association championship),鈥 said Jordan Smith, MSS sports coordinator. 鈥淎va鈥檚 score placed her in the top five of the girls鈥 competition which has qualified her for this year鈥檚 Ontario Federation of Secondary Schools Association (OFSSA). This will be Ava鈥檚 second berth at OFSSA in two years of high school competition.鈥  

Trinity Cheechoo of Wiikwemkoong High School also participated in NOSSA posting a score of 113.

Mr. Smith said, 鈥淢SS sent a boys鈥 team of five to compete against the top golfers from North Bay, Sudbury and the North Shore. The MSS boys finished fourth overall out of 16 teams with only Lo-Ellen, St. Charles and Scollard Hall, three of the largest schools in Northern Ontario posting better scores.鈥

鈥淣oah Thorpe posted an 83 in the open division, although no one was going to keep pace with Ayrton Longe (Elliot Lake Secondary School) on the day as he went on to finish with a seven under par 65 on his home course.鈥

Lucas Brown (with a score of 90), Kyle Nodecker (91) and Corbin Best (94) rounded out the MSS boys鈥 team with very respectable scores to help them keep pace with the top three golf schools in NOSSA.   

NOSSA was held at Stone Ridge Golf Course in Elliot Lake on October 2. 

MSS coaches Devin Lockeyer and Jordan Smith are very proud of the team鈥檚 commitment and performance this year and are looking forward to hosting the North Shore championships on the Island next year.

Ms. Corbiere has qualified for the provincial championship, taking place in Windsor at the Ambassador Golf Club October 16-17.
