Since she took over the Seaforth New Orleans Pizza in June, Wilding is not sure how much money was raised last year at the location. But in Mitchell, where Wilding owns the New Orleans Pizza as well, $1,786 was raised. All 67 New Orleans locations across Ontario are participating in the fundraiser which raised $78,000 in 2004 and $98,300 in 2005. Rugby team hopes to join school league next year, says coach From Page 16 really gotten involved with other things at the school, so it's good for them to be a part of this," Parsons said. She attributed the dwindling num- bers to the intense time commitment required in learning a new sport. "It's definitely more time consum- ing than a more popular sport like soccer that they have been playing since they were five," Parsons explained. "Rugby is brand new to almost everyone and it takes a lot to get everyone working together as a cohesive unit. "Not everyone was willing to give up their lunch hours." The team travelled to Monkton two weeks ago for its first tourna- ment. And while CHSS did not record any points, the team's defence improved throughout the day. "They definitely stepped up their play," Parsons said. "They took a few big tackles and dealt out a few big tackles. It was definitely a learning experience." Games against Wingham's F.E. Madill and South Huron District High School are in the works. Looking ahead, Parsons said she hopes to build interest in the sport this year and possibly enter a team into the Huron -Perth school league in 2007. "Because we are a new team, we didn't want to enter Huron -Perth too soon and have to pull out because there wasn't enough interest," she said. A girls' team is also a possibility, if the interest is there, Parsons added. While he has since returned to university, student teacher Jason Doble was also key in getting the team started.
