The Dryden Eagles went 4 for 4 in court sport action today, winning each of the final regular season games of the season.

The Senior Girls volleyball team started off the day for the Eagles with a straight sets win over the Beaver Brae Broncos (25-12, 25-1 and 25-19). Coach Desautels said that “the girls played well as a unit in all three sets. It was a great NorWOSSA prep for the girls as they were able to play in the big gym.”

The Senior Boys basketball team pulled out a 43-39 victory over the Broncos – their first in regular season play. “We played a very smart game for the first three quarters.” said Coach Lalonde, “Defensively we stuck to the game plan.  We had a lapse in the fourth quarter and allowed one player too many open shots which cut into our lead.  Offensively, we did a lot of good things.  We showed a lot of patience and shot the ball well.  I wasn’t happy in the fourth quarter that we let them back in the game.  Offensively we were not as aggressive and did not control the tempo.  We panicked under their pressure and had too many turnovers.  It was a very big win for a lot of guys on the team.  It was a reward for the players for all their hard work during the season.”

The Junior Girls Volleyball team defeated the Broncs in three straight – 25-16, 25-17 and 25-20.

The Junior boys basketball team won their final game of the season 47-39. Their season record finishes at 3 wins and 5 losses.

The boys came out strong with multiple fast breaks and forced turn overs. Their lead was 32-20 at the half.

The boys did not surrender the lead once and continued on for the win.

“Heading in to the NorWOSSA playoffs, we absolutely need to communicate more and get better at moving the ball between the guards without turning it over” said Coach Darling. “A game like this shows us just how far we’ve progressed this year and gives the entire team a bit of extra confidence heading in to next Friday.”

Leading all scorers was Kurtis Burnell with 13, Kale Kuzemchuk with 9, Thomas Cooper and Nick Skillen, 6 each.

Go Eagles!

Boys Eagles Hockey Victory in Fort Frances

Athletics

"Most Dedicated Player of the game" - Coach Oltsher didn't see until the end of the game that team captain Kyle Hamilton had taped a glove to his arm to replace a forgotten elbow pad.

Another big win for the DHS Boys hockey team last night as they travelled to Fort Frances last night and defeated the first place Muskies by a 5-2 margin. 

The Eagles quickly jumped into the lead in the game with goals from Ethan Egli, Blair Dingwall and Ryan Lobreau to lead 3-0 after the first period.  They then weathered the storm in the second as Fort Frances scored on only 1 of 4 powerplays.  The Eagles penalty kill was consistent all game and they played well in the defensive zone, not allowing Fort a lot of close opportunities like they have in the past. 

In the third Period they continued their strong forecheck and Dingwall notched his second of the game with 6 minutes left in the game to make it 4-1.  The Muskies applied some pressure late and added a goal but the Eagles responded with an empty net tally from Brendan Angeconeb to wrap up the victory.  Zach Lake faced 30 shots to post the victory.

“We haven’t played a good defensive 60 minutes since early in the season and it was great to get my first win in the Fort Frances Arena in the five years  I’ve been coaching” said Coach Oltsher.

Next action is Feb 19 and 20th as the Eagles host Red lake for their final 2 regular season games.
