(Photo submitted) Lightning struck twice more onthe weekend as the SaugeenMaitland Bantam AA Lightningshut out both the Cambridge Roadrunners and the Kitchener Lady Rangers. On Saturday the girls travelled to Cambridge to face the Roadrunners and finish off a little Christmas shopping. The Bolts came out hot, scoring all three goals early and coasting to a 3-0 win. Ashlee Lawrence got things started, scoring on a rebound off a Neve VanPelt shot. Lexi Smith got the second Lightning marker with assists going to Miranda Lantz and call-up Mel Nolan. Avery Reeves got credit for the third goal on a strange play off a face-off in the Cambridge end. Morgan Baker stopped all shots toearn the shutout. Nolan and KaylaMcCabe both played well as call-ups from the Bantam A team. Sunday’s match against Kitchener was closer on the scoreboard, but not in play. The Lightning peppered the Ranger goalie with shots but had difficulty finishing. Reeves scored the only goal on a penalty shot. Rebecca Ropp picked up the shut- out in the 1-0 win. The girls are looking forward to spending a little down time with their families over the holidays and don’t have another game until Jan. 5 when the Cambridge Roadrunners make a return trip to Howick.

Bantam girls drop, tie games By Madelaine Higgins We can feel the excitement for Christmas building within the halls of St. Anne’s Catholic Secondary School. Our Advent project is coming to an end as we have donated hundreds and hundreds of coats for our Aboriginal brothers and sisters in Northern Ontario. On Monday and Tuesday, Grade 11 religion classes went on retreat, experiencing the faith and worship sites of various temples in the Kitchener area. On Monday, swim team had a practice at Vanastra and on Tuesday the boys’ hockey team played in Clinton. Junior and senior boys’ basketball teams hosted games at St. Anne’s on Wednesday and the curling team had a bonspiel at Vanastra. Thursday, Dec. 15, the swim team had a meet at the Goderich YMCA and the girls hockey team played in Clinton. The senior girls had a volleyball game on Thursday. Everyone enjoyed the staff versus student basketball game on Thursday. The semi-formal dance was held at St. Anne’s on Friday, Dec. 16 with the theme of “Neverland”. Student cabinet worked hard to organize the event and decorate the school, as well as to welcome every guest to “fly away” with them and dance the night away. Snow cones were sold as refreshments and photos were taken as memorabilia for the evening. The school is hopeful that through collecting toys and winter clothing, every family in Huron County will feel the Christmas spirit in 2011. Students travelled to Huronview to spread some Christmas cheer and sing carols to the residents on Tuesday. Student Cabinet continues to plan the annual Christmas assembly and for some special lunch surprises on the last day of school, Dec. 23. We wish all of you peace and joy as you prepare for Christmas!
