Camp Howard Completes 63rd Season
SPECTACULAR! Â Another great camping season is in the books! Â “Change” was the theme of the 2016 season and there was a lot of it. Â A big Swing and zip line was added for the older kids. Â Laser tag was a new program for 11 year olds and up. Â A Cougar Award was handed out to a camper in every cabin every week! Â No exceptions! Â Programming was changed to allow for two choices per session. Â FOB was moved to the afternoon when the kids are really tired instead of after lunch. Â Tshirt sales were through the roof with the new cougar design. Â The 100 foot SLIP AND SLIDEÂ had to be replaced during session 5 due to the use it got! Â Awesome! Â Family Camp sold out and was a blast with Jason Kidd, Jolie Abraham Phanton and Heather Wycoff! Â Fishing Camp practically fished the pond empty! Â Lots of trout was eaten during the summer by avid fisherkids!
Stay tuned for a series of articles which will go into various aspects of the completed season! Â Thanks for watching!
St. John Fisher 7th Girls Win the Big One!
The St. John Fisher Girls remember too well the painful loss of 2015 where they were involved in the famous 6x overtime (CYO Record) Championship game with St. Pius X. Â Coming into the game this year, SJF had lost twice in regular season to Holy Family.
St. John Fisher came off the bench on fire and ran up a first quarter lead of 9-4.
With 1:15 in the second quarter, Holy Family went ahead for the first time 11-9.
The third quarter was scoreless until the final 3 minutes when Holy Family led a run on points. Â St. John Fisher answered back and went ahead on two free throws by Josie Napoli with 1.3 seconds left in the quarter.
With 2:47 remaining in the game, Holy Family tied the game then went ahead on a steal. Â The momentum had swung toward Holy Family and the crowd was behind them. Â St. John Fisher, not a team to give it up, kept fighting and tied it back up at 17 all. Â Molly Grant powered a shot through the hoop with 23 seconds left for 2 points giving SJF the advantage at 19 – 17.
