Hoopla - Boys Basketball Bronze Medalists!

The boys basketball team competed at provincial finals this past weekend.  They began the tournament against the high powered offence of Birch Hills.  The score was close for the first part of the game, but Birch Hills began to take control behind a barrage of 3 pointers.  The boys ended up dropping the game, which put them in the bronze medal game against Saskatoon Christian.  In the bronze medal game, the boys came out solidly and built up a 20 point lead by half time.  In the second half, Saskatoon mounted a charge which saw the RJC lead cut to 3 points at one time.  However, the boys managed to make a few clutch baskets to push the lead to 8 by the end of the game.  Congratulations to the boys on a great season and a provincial bronze medal.

Girls Play Hockey Too!

The Rosthern WheatKing midget girls hockey team have advanced to the league final in the NSFHL.  The team is comprised from a large geographic area but is centered this year in Rosthern and has four RJC girls on it's roster.  The semi-final vs Elrose was a two game total point series which saw the WheatKings lose the opener 6-1 in Elrose.  The return game in Rosthern was 3-2 in favor of the home side after 2 periods.  An exciting third period was capped off by a goal by Lyndsey with 30 seconds left to tie the series at 8-8!  It took until the second overtime period for the WheatKings to score and complete their amazing come back.  They now advance to face Neilberg in the league final.

WheatKings fall short in 3rd game for Bronze Medal

The WheatKings travelled to Hague for their final game of the year needing a win to secure the Bronze Medal in the SVML league playoff.  The teams had split the first two games each winning on home ice and that pattern unfortunately continued as Hague defeated Rosthern 6-3.  The teams were tied 3-3 at the end of the second period but Hague pulled ahead to stay in the 3rd.  While disappointed with the final result the WheatKings can be proud of their effort in getting the best of 3 series to the 3rd game after losing 10-3 in Hague in game 1.  The second game at home was a thrilling 3-2 overtime win with Ryan scoring the OT winner on a great set up by Derek.

Regional Basketball Play

The ladies' basketball team played their first Regional playoff game Friday March 15th in Wynyard. They battled LCBI, a similarly ranked team, whom they had lost to before. It was a fantastic game and RJC fought hard and handily won, moving on to play against the home town favorites. Saturday's noon game started with a hot first quarter for RJC and a second quarter that left the game very close at halftime. Unfortunately, due to some early foul trouble, and battle scars, the team began to fall behind in the third quarter. It was a tough match and the girls played hard until the end, finishing their season with true grit.

The boys basketball team had a strong regional performance.  The boys opened with a convincing win over Macklin and followed it up with a hard fought victory over Canora to claim the regional title.  The boys will play for provincial medals at Hoopla this weekend.

WheatKings fighting for Bronze

After moving on in the SVMHL playoffs with a first round victory over Cudworth, the WheatKings came up against the first place Warman Wildcats.  After a close and intense first game in Warman, which saw a late goal from Warman to stake them to a 3-2 lead in the two game total point series. With the second game in Rosthern, hopes were high for an upset but unfortunately the breaks did not fall the home teams way.  They now find themselves facing Hague Tuesday night March 12th for the bronze position.
