The Cochrane High School (CHS) Cobras put an exclamation point on their perfect season with a 44-0 win over the Chestermere High School Cowboys Oct. 27 at CHS.

Cochrane High School will not be this year’s Alberta Schools Athletic Association (ASAA) South Central Zone varsity girls soccer champs.

Three Cochrane-area players are suiting up for Team Alberta’s U18 girls hockey team this year.

The Cochrane Lions took their 8-0 regular-season record, and high hopes, into the Calgary Bantam Football Association (CBFA) playoffs. But their high hopes crashed head-long into foul weather and an even more foul foe in the Calgary Stampeders.

In an effort to bolster their flagging fortunes, the Cochrane Generals are trying to add a fourth over-age (21-year-old) skater to their Heritage Junior Hockey League roster.

It’s not over until it’s over. So, down 6-0 to Airdrie’s Bert Church High School Chargers with 50 seconds remaining in the game, the Springbank High School Phoenix went to work.

The Cochrane Lions achieved a perfect 8-0 regular-season record in Calgary Bantam Football Association (CBFA) play with a 27-16 win over the Calgary Stamps Oct. 13 at Calgary’s Shouldice Park.

The Cochrane High School Cobras varsity girls soccer team demolished the competition at the South Central Zone invitational soccer tournament over the weekend – and brought home nothing but a kit bag full of confusion and angst for their efforts.

It’s a tale of two teams. One, with a rookie starting quarterback who showed the most poise and confidence he’s shown all season. The other, with a coach who was concerned with his team’s performance despite a 33-point margin of victory.

Two words: Team defence. When you give up an average of 7.5 goals in your first four regular-season games, your defence, or lack thereof, is showing.
