It was great catching up with Samantha Fancy this week. Samantha (Sam) is a grade 11 student athlete attending in person this semester here at LDH! Sam was a nominee for the junior girls athlete of the year in 2019- 2020. She has been working hard in the classroom this year and is looking forward to getting back to her many sports and activities!
From the desk of Sam Fancy:
Sports at LDH:
I’ve played on many sports teams throughout my five years at Longfields such as basketball, hockey, volleyball, track and field, soccer, cross-country, ultimate frisbee and touch football.
Future Plans:
Once I’ve graduated from Longfields, I’m hoping to pursue a degree in the sciences. I haven’t quite figured out what yet, but I’m excited to find out all the amazing opportunities and careers awaiting.
Favorite Sport:
My favourite sport would have to be ringette, but I am open to learning and playing any sport.
Raven Athletics:
The thing I miss most about RAVENS ATHLETICS is the friendly competition. Whether it be between teammates for improvement, or against other teams to be the best, it was always a safe environment to learn and better yourself as well as your skills.
Favorite Colour:
My favourite colour is blue:
Favorite Sports Team:
My favourite sports team is the Washington Capitals. I grew up watching hockey – especially the Capitals, and liked the way they played and continue to play.
Favorite Food:
My favourite food is steak and potatoes.
A Great Teammate:
A Ravens teammate I look up to is Jessica Fitzgerald. She comes to every practice and game ready to go and excited to take on the challenges. She’s hardworking, never gives up, and is a positive role model for everyone around her.
Covid Pastime:
During the Covid-19 pandemic I pursued my other hobbies as all sports were shut down. I spent more time playing piano and guitar which was a nice change. It helped me take my mind off the ongoing pandemic.
Favorite Gym Class Activity:
My favourite gym class game is daggerball. It combines just the right amount of running, throwing, catching and hitting, with the perfect amount of competition.
