The teacher vs. student volleyball game is an impressive event that all of York Mills looks forward to. This year it did not fail to meet expectations and was certainly an afternoon to remember. It’s hard to decide whether the highlights were the school spirit, or the students patiently waiting for Ms. Chan to spike the ball over the net. Regardless, everyone had an amazing time. A source that has chosen to remain unnamed stated, “This game was so fun! The teachers were better than I expected and it was one of the best times I’ve had at this school!” In the end, the score was 20-18 in favor of the students for the senior team, and 20-14 in favor of the teachers for the junior team.

The Senior Girls team continues to have a strong season by advancing to the semi-finals next week. On Feb 6, the team beat William Lyon Mackenzie, moving the team to the semi-finals. York Mills had a clean sweep winning comfortably in two sets. The team had played Mackenzie before the game at a tournament at the beginning of the season. Hopefully, the winning streak will continue, and the semi-finals will not conclude the seniors season. Before the quarter-final match, they won all their games, driving their ranking to 1st in tier one with a 5-0 record. The semi-finals are scheduled for next week.

York Mills has a phenomenal tennis team consisting of many experienced tennis players such as Ali Ersoy and Justin Cheung. York Mills’s tennis team provides players with an amazing opportunity to gain experience and be part of a team. This Fall, York Mills took a tough loss against Lawrence Park. However, in the Spring, York Mills has another chance to defeat them. I had the opportunity to interview Justin Cheung about his experiences on the York Mills tennis team and the 2018 Fall tennis season.
