Despite being the smallest and one of two Grade 8 boys on a senior basketball team, this young man from Newport, Vermont, displayed grit, tenacity and bravery in his second senior game. He led his team in scoring, and even though the results of the game were less than favourable, he was a beauty to watch. Congratulations, this week's Athlete of the Week, from the senior boys D4-1 basketball team, Joshua Lippmann.
Justin came up biggest at the most important time of the year. Already instrumental in helping lead his team to a #1 finish in the regular RSEQ season, when the playoffs arrived, this second-year forward from Newport, Vt. raised his game to another level.
Stanstead College celebrated a number of important athletic victories this past week, capped off Monday with a thrilling win by the Varsity Girls Hockey Spartans in the North American Prep Hockey Association (NAPHA) championship game.
The junior boys played one last tournament in Montreal, the Davis. There were six boys teams in the tournament this year vying for the provincial banner.
This year’s team has a huge mix of talent, age and experience (3 x grade 7, 2 x grade 8, 3 x grade 9 and 4 x grade 10). There is no single dominant player and each brings a particular strength.
