Mountaineers varsity highlights – November 25

Varsity_November25Mohawk Mountaineers have officially launched the annual Bernetta Scime Toy Dive with all proceeds going to Martha House – Good Shepherd.

For a number of years Mohawk's Department of Athletics and Recreation has organized and ran the toy drive to support a local Hamilton charity or organization during the holiday season.

More information about the toy drive and where to donate can be found on the Mountaineers website.

On the court, men’s volleyball was able to come away with a victory this past week, winning in four sets over the Conestoga Condors.

Men’s basketball, who remain nationally ranked at number eight in the CCAA, also came away with a 92-90 win over the Niagara Knights.
