ATHLETICS

ATHLETICS - GO, PANTHERS GO!

Athletics are an important part of student life at The Priory, and all students are encouraged to participate. The Priory takes great pride in its two interscholastic soccer and basketball teams. Participation, whether interscholastic or intramural, as supporters or players, develops a strong sense of teamwork and respect for healthy competition.

WE ARE THE ELEMENTARY BASKETBALL LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 2023-2024

In an electrifying boys' championship game that will be etched in Priory history, the Priory Panthers clawed their way to victory. This win marks the culmination of a true Cinderella story, a journey filled with challenges, perseverance, and ultimately, triumph.

To our players, Mr. Gentile, coaches, parents, and everyone who supported the team along the way: This victory belongs to all of us. Together, we have made Priory history, proving that with heart, hard work, and teamwork, anything is possible. Go Panthers!

THE PRIORY TOURNAMENT TEAM CHAMPIONS 2023-2024

Our Priory Panthers Tournament Teams dominated the NDS Tournament, impressing both opponents and spectators alike. With determination, both of our teams secured victory after victory, culminating in a showdown between Priory Panthers Team 1 and Priory Panthers Team 2 in the Championship game. In the end, it was a win-win situation for our Panthers, as they emerged victorious and took home the Championship title!

Congratulations to our Panthers on an outstanding performance at the NDS Tournament—we couldn't be prouder! Go, Panthers!

THE PRIORY 2023-2024 SILVER DIVISION CHAMPIONS

Our Priory Panthers made our school incredibly proud at the LCC Basketball Tournament last weekend! The teamwork of our student-athletes truly shone through, and we have some outstanding achievements to celebrate.

  • Our Girls' team showed remarkable determination, winning both of their games on Saturday with inspiring performances.

  • Our Boys' team, who faced some tough competition, emerged victorious against LCC and UCC, earning the well-deserved title of Silver Division Champions!

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing coach, Mr. Gentile, and our assistant parent coaches, Achilles, Mikey and Mark. Kudos also to our supportive parents and the enthusiastic crowd cheering for our Panthers. Go Panthers!

In Mr. Gentile's words: "We are The Priory School, small but strong, and we know what makes the true heart of a champion."

BIG CHEERS TO OUR 2023–2024 TRILLIUM CHAMPIONS!

Our Priory Panthers had an exciting weekend in Toronto at the Upper Canada College (UCC) Basketball Tournament, earning us the title of Trillium Champions! I was happy to receive play-by-play updates from Friday and Saturday's games. The excitement of a fast break or a last-second shot makes basketball a thrilling sport, both to watch and read about.

A special thank you to our exceptional Phys Ed teacher and coach, Mr. Gentile, for instilling in our athletes respect and a love for the game. Your tireless dedication to our sports teams and athletics program is immensely appreciated. Mr. Gentile not only inspires our students to try something new and do their best, but also instills invaluable life lessons. Thank you, Mr. Gentile, for helping our students grow not only as athletes but as confident and compassionate individuals.
