It was a battle and the girls played their hearts out, but in the end the Sir Oliver Mowat Mustangs, senior girls volleyball team, ended up just short of becoming back-to-back Ontario champions.
Riding an impressive 48 – 1 record into OFSAA, the Scarborough school had high expectations, and brought their best, but in the end it was Ottawa based, Ecole secondaire publique Louis-Riel, that took home gold winning in three straight sets over Mowat (30-28, 25-21, 25-21).
As defending Ontario champions, Sir Oliver Mowat, had entered this year’s provincials, in Stratford, hoping to become the first Toronto school to win back-to-back girls’ titles since the provincial playoffs started in 1975.
Obviously, not the outcome Mowat was hoping for, the Silver medal will surely be bittersweet – in retrospect.
To play so well, and to come so close, only to fall short (to an OFFSAA championship) is disappointing. But as time goes on, the Mowat girls will remember the 2009/10 season as a successful and positive one. Without a doubt, many friendships were established and great memories created.
Exercise Toronto congratulates them on their hard-work and on another stand out season!
