What a way to answer the critics. After suffering a blip in the road with a 41-10 defeat to Foothills Composite Falcons on April 27, the Cochrane Bears have bounced back in the best possible way.

Be afraid. Be very afraid. At the start of the Rocky View Sports Association soccer season, it was anyone’s guess who the team to beat would be, but the Bow Valley High School Bobcats are making a case as frontrunners.

Unbeaten in their first two games of the season, the Cochrane High School Cobras boys soccer team couldn’t ask for a much better start.

Good things come to those who wait.

Contrary to what the old phrase might say, the third time isn’t always a charm. The Rockyview Rage Midget B lacrosse team knows something about this.

To quote a poker mantra, you play the hand you’re dealt. At the start of the NHL season, no one could have predicted where Cochranite Mason Raymond would end up, least of all himself.

It hasn’t been the most joyous of seasons so far for the Cochrane Bears girls rugby team.

Where some see misfortune, others see opportunity. Things were looking bleak earlier this year when it was decided by the Cochrane Lions Football Club not to field a midget team due to lack of participants.

Anyone who questions why the Cochrane High School Cobras football team has been so dominant for so long in the province doesn’t understand the level of dedication the team puts in. When they see an opportunity to take an advantage, they do so.

Spirits were high and things were looking up. That’s when it all came crashing down.
