The DVSS Junior Boys basketball team won their league championship.
    The Dynos Hosted Prairie Christian Academy in their league final at home on Wednesday, March 6. The Dynos were undefeated throughout their league season and dominated PCA in the final, winning 73-37.
    This result came after a strong showing at zones. The Junior A Boys were in zones at St. Joseph’s in Brooks on March 1 and 2.
    The Dynos topped Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School in their first game but lost to St. Joseph’s by 5. This put them in the third-place match to play Westmont, but they fell.
    On Tuesday, March 5, they played in their league semi-final versus Three Hills, and were successful, qualifying them for the championship.
    The Junior Girls Dynos also had a strong season and competed in the zone tournament.
    The Junior A Dynos girls basketball team was in Chestermere for the year-end tournament on March 1 and 2. The Dynos lost their first game to St. Joseph’s Collegiate but came back in the second game to top East Lake. In their final game, the Dynos faced Holy Cross Collegiate but lost.
    Coach Elesha Sharpe said the team had a great year even though they were plagued with injuries.
    “All the girls worked hard and made us coaches proud with how they improved and played together as a team,” she said.

    With renovations to JC Charyk School in Hanna complete, and plans to break ground on a new Delia School, Prairie Land Regional School Division (PLRD) has its sights set on Morrin School.
    At the February 12  PLRD board meeting a draft of the Morrin School engineering report was discussed. Stephenson Engineering presented information regarding the  Morrin School Structural Condition Assessment and Options analysis report.
    “The Board of trustees felt physically the state that structure is in, they would need to put it in their Capital Plan submission, and that would be their number one priority in their capital plan submitted to the ministry,” said Superintendent Cam McKeage.
    He said the report once finalized will be sent to the board and McKeage says hopefully it will be approved for submission at their next board meeting.
    While the division may identify Morrin school on its three-year capital priority plan, it still has to be looked at by the province.
    ‘We had the engineering firm give it another look to strengthen our case, recognizing the building is in a little bit of disarray,” he said.
    He says at this point they can not say if they are looking at a renovation or a rebuild.
    “All we are asking for is recognition the building needs some work,” he said. “In our capital plan we are going to ask for the moon, but it is really up to the ministry what they want to do with it.”
    According to a 2011 report, the original Morrin School was built in 1950, with expansions and modernizations in 1957, 1978 and 1988.
