Fair ball

The Kahnawake Survival School (KSS) Bantam and Juvenile baseball teams have completed their regular season games. Unfortunately, neither team was able to secure a win, but that doesn’t mean there are not bright spots to the season.

The Bantam team went 0-4, losing to West Island College, College Regina Assumpta, Loyola College, and Bialik High School, but they did earn all eight of their ethics points.

These points are awarded for sportsmanship and fair play - meaning that at time of writing, they could still qualify for the playoffs as one of the top two teams in their division if Lower Canada College and Selwyn House do not get to eight standings points through wins or fair play.

Lower Canada College currently has five points, three for a win and two for fair play, after playing only one game so far due to a rainout. Selwyn House has all of their ethics points in two games, but is so far winless.

The Juvenile team is also winless in four games, losing twice by forfeit. Even as other teams have yet to complete their regular seasons, they sit fifth in their five-team division, with only the top three teams competing in postseason play.

This is the second season for the resurrected KSS baseball program, which returned last year after a 20-year absence.
