A lot of pride is circulating in Invermere as the seniors girls soccer team from David Thompson Secondary School (DTSS) has earned a berth in the provincial championship.
The team recently won the zone championship in Nakusp and is now getting ready to compete in the provincials in Duncan. It has been a few years since the team has qualified to compete in the provincial tournament.
“The players and coaches are incredibly proud of this achievement and are working hard to fundraise for their upcoming trip,” said student and player Claire Stockley.
The trip to Vancouver Island will cost each player approximately $700, therefore, fundraising efforts have begun. The team has secured the following sponsors to help make the trip possible: KMJ 2 Builders, Kootenay River Massage, Kinetic Concrete, Pizza 2 Go, Panorama Mountain Resort, Main Street Fun and Games, Premier Physio, Canfor Radium, Brainard Custom Contracting, Zimmer Investments, and Dairy Queen.
Anyone interested in supporting the team can reach out through Instagram at @dtss_athletics.
The senior girls team consists of the following players: Ireland Brunner, Emilie Cartier, Danica Colluci, Maya den Otter, Maya Eccles, Carla Fraschini, Maren Gillies, Kyra Kruk, Avery McConachie, Ally Mitchell, Sephira Oddy, Celia Sanchez, Claire Stockley, Chanel Tardiff, and Cimone Zimmer.
