Athletics
The York Storm continues to leave its positive mark on the CISAA competition. We have multiple undefeated teams rolling across the board. Varsity Girls Basketball, U14 Girls Basketball, Varsity Boys Soccer and U14 Boys Volleyball are off to excellent starts and continue to be undefeated in their respective leagues, while both our U10 co-ed Soccer and U11 Girls Basketball teams opened their seasons displaying passion and pride.
Next week, the inaugural Farnham Cup will be held, a Cross country battle between The York Storm and De La Salle College.
We are only a couple of weeks away from Friday Night Lights… Leeet’s Go!
