The best of the best of North Star High School sports was honoured last week at the school’s athletic banquet.


Held last Thursday night at the Ciociaro Club, North Star paid tribute to the students who made up the teams and/or competed in the various individual sports throughout the 2023-24 school year. Among the highlights were an OFSAA bronze medal for the senior girls volleyball team, three track and field athletes qualifying for OFSAA, the football team winning the Hogan’s Printing/Penalty Box Bowl, four swimmers qualifying for OFSAA, numerous all-star team selections and athletes who qualified for SWOSSAA in their sports.


“Our athletes and coaches worked countless hours to make it a successful year,” said North Star athletic department head Lisa Voakes.


Voakes also thanked parents and guardians for playing a crucial role this year, with vice principal Jason Lynn also offering similar thanks. Lynn offered “a heartfelt thank you to the parents and families” for their sacrifices, stating the athletes couldn’t compete without their support.


Lynn paid tribute to the teachers and coaches as well.


“North Star is a better place because you give your time and expertise to coach,” said Lynn.


Players may not remember many of the individual game results, but Lynn noted they will remember the bonds they made, goals they scored and fun they had.
