Hyacks Heroes Crowned Provincial Champions Saturday!
Read all about it: NWSS Hyacks football team captures the BC Subway Bowl Saturday…
- The Province Newspaper calls it: “Unreal. Unbelievable. Unforgettable”: Hyacks crowned BC high school champs after high-drama ending.

The final football game of the year in Canada was the most exciting! @HyackFootball wins #SubwayBowl on a Hail Mary & 2-pt convert with no time left. I love these guys! #champions #SHARP @BCHSFB pic.twitter.com/45aefpzPg2
