Highlanders Not Only School With Gym Floor Woes

According to an article in yesterday's Guelph Tribune, the JF Ross Royals are experiencing some issues of their own with gym floors.

When the Royals returned to school last week, the floors (which were being redone over the summer) are not yet ready to go. 

Rod Evans, Ross' athletic director, noted that "everyone is frustrated, it’s not a great way to start the year, but (we’ll have) two new gym floors."

(For those who don't know, JF Ross has two full sized gyms --- so when their basketball teams play, the junior team plays in one gym and the senior team in the other at the same time.  Looks like both gyms are affected here.)

As of last week, the volleyball and basketball teams had only held meetings and as of Monday were looking for other locations to hold practices and tryouts.

Evans sounded confident on Monday that the floors would be ready in time for the first set of Ross' home games next week.



Lions to Host Junior Girls Tournament

Last year's defending D10 champions, the St. James Lions, will be hosting a junior girls tournament in their gym this coming weekend.  Though I don't have a schedule at this time, I can tell you that action goes Friday and Saturday with Friday games tipping off at 3:30pm.
