The girls soccer season came to an end on Saturday October 22nd regional playoffs.  The girls lost to their valley rivals  in Osler.  The team sustained injury to two of it's players.  Jenna and Teresa both  saw limited play.  Although it was a tough loss, the girls had a very good season overall all.  

Boys Soccer hosts Regional playoffs

The RJC boys hosted the  7v7 soccer regionals on Friday October 22.  RJC won its first match against Maymont in an exciting game in front of the entire student body. Next, they lost to Cando who went on to face Stobart in the Regional final.  Cando lost the final due to disqualification as a result of too many red cards.  Cando withdrew from provincials, and because we lost to Cando, RJC advanced to the provincial finals hosted in Moose Jaw on Oct. 29 and 30.  Thanks to everyone who helped us with the hosting duties!
