April 2015: Students from the two North Thompson secondary schools have gotten together to form a senior boys rugby team – and they gave NorKam Saints a 51-3 shellacking during their first game of the season. The game was played at BSS on April 9.

“Things are looking a little different for the Clearwater kids for rugby this year,” said Gabe Francis, a teacher at Clearwater Secondary School. “We were going to be light on numbers at the senior level so we put in a request with BC School Sports to run a joint program with Barriere Secondary.”
