On Wednesday January 27 Drumheller Valley Secondary School (DVSS) Sr. Girls hosted a basketball game against Trochu Valley School. Head Coach Jen Raugust said, “The girls had a great game. It’s been a challenging couple weeks with final exams and trying to get practices in. The girls played with a lot of intensity for most of the game, which is very encouraging.  My two captains (Karis Hilchey and Rachel Engen) are great leaders and are very positive young ladies, and I believe they are a big part of our team growth.”  The final score was 45-35 in favor of Trochu.  Pictured Karis Hilchey in the black/gold uniform.

    For the month of February, it will be the Battle of the Sexes healthy competition at the Aquaplex and the Badlands Community Facility (BCF).
    Program Specialist Brandon Schneider explained, “February is Heart and Stroke Month, so this is a healthy competition between the sexes, especially for senior citizens.   A group of seniors are part of the Golden Mile Walk at BCF and many of them join this competition if only for the bragging rights.
    Schneider further explained, “The BCF is trying to get more businesses interested in this healthy competition and has been encouraging fast food industries, dealerships, etc.  To  enter this fun challenge. ”
