Reach for the Top First Victory

Reach for the Top First Victory

Danielle McMahon

After a delayed start to the day, Dunnville Secondary School’s (DSS) Junior Reach for the Top Team (Reach) participated in a tournament in Niagara-on-the Lake on May 16th.

The Reach team played five games all day and won one of them. It was their first win of the season. The team this year consisted of Megan Wilkes, Griffin Walker, Maggie Bassendale, Shayla Hannigan and Vicki Alton. All of the students are in Grade 9. The point of Reach is to answer questions using random knowledge. The team competed against Beamsville District, Stamford, A.N. Meyer and Centennial. There is no league for Haldimand.

The team’s coach, Kathy Maciuk, was proud of the team's first win of the year. As a team of all new players, she thought they played well this year and hopes that they stick together over the next three years.
