The Lakes District Secondary School (LDSS) junior and senior soccer teams played their first home games of the season against Fraser Lake Secondary School recently.
The LDSS junior team had many chances but some bad bounces and near misses left the final score a closely fought 2-1 loss. The LDSS senior team also lost with a similar score.
The teams played through some chill winds coming off the still frozen lake but despite the cold, the smiles on their faces and the brave fans on the sidelines showed just how popular soccer is in Burns Lake.
With the strike action of the teachers, the LDSS team is being coached by community members Noel Fairley and Pat Brochez and regional games have been organized.
