Sarah
Sarah Burke, a former MSS student, was involved in a tragic ski accident on January 10th. The injuries Sarah suffered claimed her life on the morning of January 19th.
Sarah Burke was an student/athlete at MSS and in her final year of high school she decided to pursue her dream as a Free Style Skier. Over the years she has been the top Free Style Skier in the World. She competed in the X-Games frequently winning gold, was named the ESPN Action Female Athlete of the year. Sarah was a favourite to win a Gold medal at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Japan. During her time in Midland, Sarah was the recipient of the Chambers Excellence in Sports award at MSS and inducted into the Midland Sports Hall of Fame. Outside of her successes Sarah remained close to many of her high school friends and although gone from MSS for 10 years she still remained a member of the MSS community as her teachers and friends have followed her accomplishments over the years.
Sarah was a tremendous athlete and an even better person. Our thoughts go out to Sarah’s husband, parents, sister, and close friends at this time.

The. Best. Game. Ever.
Oh my!
Last night the MSS Sr. boys won a thriller, beating rivals ODCVI . Constant pressure and communication on defence wore on the blues who eventually fell in the second overtime. Congratulations to the team on their best game of the year and one of the most exciting games your coaches have had the opportunity to be part of. Special mention to Brandon Davy for his 24 pts and 8 for 11 at the foul line, Cory Garner and Matt Blair contributed 15 each and Justin Pulford had 10. Coaches Coutts and DavyThanks to Megan Campbell who was able to watch and take photos (unlike someone else I know). Just an amazing, epic game.
Special shout out to Jordan Carriere. A record setting performance that will not soon be broken. The whole team deserves some high fives when you next see them in the hall.
Lads; MSS is proud of you!

2011 Alumni Basketball Game
The stands were packed on Dec 23rd as thirty alumni, friends and family packed into the Midland Secondary School triple gym. The crowd watches as the alumni took on the Marauders senior boys’ basketball team. Most of the senior alumni players started off the game; a line that featured Shawn Davy, Scott Roland, Cam Vipond, John Faragher and Andrew Goucher. John Faragher was the senior alumni on the floor (referees excluded), and despite going 0 for 13 shooting, demonstrated a matured emotional control only screaming at the opposing coach once. Shawn Davy was manned up against his son Brandon and managed to get the better of every exchange.
The remainder of the game was back and forth with Andrew Goucher having the hot hand for the alumni, while Matt Blair was the high school team’s top shooter. The Helt brothers, Kevin and Derek, battled it out at both ends of the court, each getting the better of the other at times. Tyler and Matt McClure, returned to shake out the cobwebs while Scott Attwood showed his game hasn’t lost a step, managing to keep his cool, despite the officiating of his father. Eventually, the pressure and energy of youth overcame the wisdom and strength of age. The senior boys’ team pulled away in the final minutes and won the game.
A big thank-you to alumni Chester Graham and Jeff Attwood for officiating, Jocelyn Faragher and Delta Vermeulen for score keeping, Cam Vipond and Chester Graham for organizing the game, and all the family, friends and fans who came out to support the event.
