FERGUS – The first-ever lacrosse team from Centre Wellington District High School (CWDHS) won the CWOSSA title on May 23 in Kitchener and is competing this week at the OFSAA tournament in Owen Sound.

They went on to score an 11-7 victory over Assumption College from Brantford in the finals.
Head coach Ryan Martin, is assisted by Murray Skerritt and Rich Preston. Players range from Grade 9 to Grade 12.
Skerrit said while there had not been a school team previously, officials were able to attract talented players thanks to strong lacrosse activity in the Fergus area.
