The Raider Boys soccer team went off to Provincials in Swift Current on the weekend and represented themselves very well. 

“Although short-handed, they played hard,” offered team spokesperson Dennis Nesseth. 

Friday morning’s game was against the Regina’s first place Campbell Collegiate. 

“The game was a battle,” said Nesseth. “Campbell scored 25 minutes into the 80 minute game.  The Raiders held them off but couldn’t get the equalizer so lost 1-0.”

This put the Raiders to the B-Side of the round robin.

Friday afternoon, they played Warman for a bye into the Consolation Final. Warman scored early in the first half.  Corey Henry scored a beautiful header from a corner kick to even the score 1-1 with a minute left in the first half.

In the second half, the Raiders shifted their efforts forward, but weren’t able to score. Warman had another two goals to win 3-1.

This represented the seventh time that the Yorkton Regional High School Raider Boys have earned their way to the 5A Provincial Championship.

Campbell Collegiate went on to win the bronze while Saskatoon’s Centennial took gold in the final versus Saskatoon’s St. Joseph’s High School.
