The high school sports season is in full swing with athletes pouring every last drop of energy into becoming one of the best in Greater Sudbury. Here's an overall look into the high school loop, setting up big games, reliving top performances and other notes of interest.
A+ Performer
St. Benedict Bears tailback Joey Martelacci. The speedy player
was a one-man wrecking crew last week against bitter rival
Lo-Ellen Park. Martelacci romped for 278 yards on 24 rushes and
scored four touchdowns to lead St. Benedict to a 28-23 victory
over the Knights.
