The Girl's Volleyball team had a strong finish to their season, and showed just how much they have improved and learned from the start of the season. Making it to the semi-finals, the girls finished two points shy of going onto provincials, but they held their heads high. They came together as a team and learned to great volleyball players, and great teammates.

Longhorns Finish Great Season with Silver Medal

The Rosthern Longhorn football season came to an end on a snowy and slippery field in Hudson Bay where the host Hudson Bay Riders proved themselves to be the better team that day.  The bigger Riders were able to use their size to advantage, while the winter conditions limited the faster Longhorns from doing all they were capable of.  Hats off to Hudson Bay on their championship season and to their volunteers who worked hard to make the field as playable as possible.

Despite the loss in the championship game the Longhorns had a fantastic season with great games and a lifetime of memories!!
