HHS Hawks Volleyball Season continues
The second season of sports for the 2019-2020 school year, has continued to chug along, despite challenges posed by weather conditions as well as labour strife.
The HHS junior and senior volleyball girls headed to Chapleau today, to play several games against Trillium High and Chapleau High. Each team played once against Trillium (as we hosted them in the fall) and twice against CHS. Considering the 3.5+ hour trip each way, this is a long and challenging day for our ladies.
With some pressure from CHS, our senior girls were stretched to the limit, but were able to come out on top, winning all three matches. While we still have a double header in Wawa on Wednesday, this all but assures a spot in the finals, however we have to wait for other scores to come in, as well as Wednesday's games.
In junior action, our ladies played valiantly, coming away with a victory, and two close losses. As is often the case, junior volleyball is a process of developing talent and skill, and oftentimes, learning the game for the first time, so we are very proud of their progress, and it will bode so well for them in the coming years.
Stay tuned to hornepayne.com for updates on Wednesday's action, and how it all pans out next week, considering we are all, also trying to dodge potential labour strife, to be able to finish our season and compete for a championship!
An extra special thanks to Ms. Jaremy and Ms. Biribauer, for being at the school at 5:30 AM today and coaching the girls! It is greatly appreciated.

Lady Hawks come home winners from Dubreuilville
On Wednesday, January 15th, the Hornepayne High School Junior and Senior volleyball teams traveled to Dubreuilville for regular season action. The Senior girls were slated for a double header, and the junior girls were on hand for exhibition play, as Dubreuilville does not have a junior team.
The Senior Hawks came out of the blocks on fire, taking the first match in two sets, controlling the play and scrambling well. In the second match, Dubreuilville came out on fire, forcing a third set tiebreaker, within which the Hawks were able to rebound and win the match.
In exhibition play, the Junior Hawks played three exhibition games and came out on top, 2 games to one!
While the coaches were impressed with the level of play, of both the juniors and the seniors, it was even more so, their maturity and composure on the court. As their coaches have reminded them several times, it is composure and maturity on the court that lead to an even higher level of play!!
The Hawks' season has been marred with cancellations due to weather conditions, but they are busy over the next few weeks finishing out the regular season play, and driving for the playoffs!

Hawks take Bronze
Sports is a program at HHS that is valued and dear to many. Coaches and athletes put in hundreds of hours to prepare for competition. Sports helps prepare kids for life. It keep them in school, it teaches them resiliancy and promotes healthy lifestyles.
This season, our girls basketball team had to be a combined team, meaning that all girls, from grades 9-12 played on the same team. Unlike larger schools, our senior team only had a few seniors, and many younger players.
Despite this challenge, our girls worked hard, earning a first place berth out of our division, to qualify for playoffs. The day started with a heartbreaking loss to Manitouwadge. Down most of the game, the girls came back, to fall short by one point. This left them in the bronze medal match, against the combined Michipicoten and St. Joe's school, a team we had already played twice last week, with only one point between us.
Bouncing back from their heartbreaking loss, the girls took the ball in their hands and won the game by a score of 45-23, clearly demonstrating despite the close games last week, that the Hawks were clearly the better team!
So, on we go to the second season, with boys basketball and girls volleyball. Our regular season will start shortly, with playoffs in mid-February! Stay tuned for all the updates, here on www.hornepayne.com!!!
HHS Hawks Road trip to Chapleau
On Tuesday, October 15th, the HHS Hawks headed to Chapleau to play regular season games against Trillium and CHapelaeau high schools. The boys came up against a tough squad at Trillium losing in straight sets, but recovered to beat CHS in two straight. This year, CHS and Trillium have combined to form one team, and our girls beat them this afternoon. This year, due to our school size, we have had to combine our junior and senior teams, so really, these are teams with grade 9's playing against students in grade 12 and even in a fifth year, so they hare hanging in there well! Watch for updates next week, when we host Chapleau, and the following week, host and visit Wawa to play MHS and St. Joe's!
