Softball Teams Place High at GVISAA Tournament
Bodwell’s softball Teams A and B put up a worthwhile and hard fought effort in the GVISAA Tournament on Wednesday, June 10th. Competing against other North Vancouver teams, Bodwell students secured 2nd and 3rd place victories.
Team A, coached by Ms. White, won their first game 6-3, defeating St. John’s International. The hitting was outstanding with runners advancing every turn at bat. Tatsuaki Yokoi was instrumental as pitcher creating several strike-outs, and Sumin Lee created a good target at the plate as team catcher. Reina Abe, playing rover, caught an outstanding fly ball in the outfield to prevent runners from clearing the bases. Youngwook Jang, Genki Hara and Yana Ando helped to deliver strong hits that drove in runs. The second game, against Khalsa, resulted in a heart-breaking overtime loss. With two outs and a runner on third, a hit was made that helped drive in the 1-0 score in favor of Khalsa. Despite the loss, Kenya Sakakibara showed great talent as the team short stop, denying Khalsa several base hits. Yagmur Bul and Takeshi Iso made good plays at 2nd and 1st bases. Reina Abe and Elizabeth Soriano Lopez came out with bats blazing as they both made base hits. Special thanks to Seitarou Nakata for his adaptability playing several positions and Idil Turk for helping with third base coaching and equipment management. Overall, Team A did a wonderful job against two worth opponents to secure 2nd place in the tournament.
Mr. Ng had the privilege of coaching Team B that included Masashi, Akari, Tora, Haruna, Taihei, Semi, Shungo, Brian, Ryoma, Jake, and Seitarou. One of the signs of an excellent athlete is an athlete that is able listen to his or her coach and do what is suggested. We had lost our first game by a score of one to zero, and in preparing for the second game, I told the players to do something different, really a small change in strategy, to which they listened and applied for the second game. We won the second game, to earn third place in the tournament. Thank you players for being coachable. We want to mention that was Taihei Hirata was injured in the tournament and we wish him a speed recovery.
2014-2015 Bodwell Sports Roundup – Volleyball
Bodwell’s string of championships with the North Shore Athletic Association and the Greater Vancouver Independent School Athletic Association is a testament to the expertise of our coaches and the genuine team efforts of our student athletes. Bodwell has the benefit of a full gymnasium, indoor pool, and other close by facilities. However, the individual perspectives of our international student athletes are what add richness to the Bodwell athletic experience.
All of our athletes work on the cornerstones of teamwork and sportsmanship to ensure their own success and their teams, both on and off the field. To a Bodwell student athlete, winning is an effect of hard work, dedication, cooperation, and an open mind.
Here we give you a roundup of Bodwell’s sport teams since September 2014. Keep a look out in the summer term for Bodwell’s progress in track and field. This post features Bodwell’s volleyball teams who were arguably the most successful of all the sports teams this season.
