One of the biggest sporting events of the year is coming up! That's right, the Memorial game will be held on Wednesday, February 3rd! This year the Memorial game will be taking place at Saint Macs where the SJHS Girls will be facing off against the STM Girls and the SJHS Boys against the STM Boys. This is one of the highlights of the year when it comes to showing off school spirit, and we want this year to be the best yet! Everyone is welcome to join the SJHS Loud Crowd outside of the SJHS gym for body/face painting, and SJHS Loud Crowd T-shirts will be on sale as well. We will then be walking up to STM as a group to cheer on our school basketball teams. This is an awesome event and we hope to see lots of Hounds in the stands! It is also a fundraiser for the David MacPherson Memorial Scholarship which is divided between both schools. Admission is $3.00 for students and $5.00 for adults. Come support your team!

SAINT JOHN - Saint John High School football coach David Grandy has always told his 60-member team that they're like family, and this winter they're proving him right.
When team member Jordan Lawrence and his mother lost everything in a fire on Garden Street earlier this month, his colleagues decided they needed to act.
Along with collecting household items for Lawrence, some of his musically inclined friends decided they could do better than that and have taken to busking at the Saint John City Market a couple of lunch hours each week to raise cash for the family.
The first day, they raised $50 and the second day, after adding the fiddle, they took home $200.
Ethan MacLeod, Thomas Brown, Sean Slader, Colin Ferris and Alex Dykeman will be at the City Market again on Wednesday and Friday of next week drumming up financial support for their friend.
"Me, Tom and Sean are the left side of the offensive line," MacLeod adds.
MacLeod sings and plays fiddle, Brown plays guitar and bass, and Slader, the djembe - an African drum. Ferris and Dykeman caught the performance one lunchtime and joined in on the act.
"They said, 'We want to help you.' They're really pumped about it," MacLeod said.
"Football is a little bit different.
"You practise so much together. Three hours a day, five days a week, rain or shine, snow or mud. You get really tight with the team, so if something bad happens to one of us, we all come together to help out."
Lawrence made it out of his burning home with only his football jacket and his Xbox, MacLeod said.
"He threw his dog out the window and grabbed them on the way out. He chiselled his cellphone out of a block of ice and it still works," MacLeod said. "He's a funny guy," he adds, laughing.
The whole team is pitching in to help, he said. The football players raised $300 raffling off a television and have been collecting sheets and towels, dressers and mattresses.
"Pretty much everyone has something to spare," MacLeod said.
The buskers may be found in the atrium at the Germain Street entrance of the City Market.
Fire officials believe the blaze was caused by an electrical problem.
