Randy Ralph, coach of the Carbonear Collegiate Wrestling Team, pointed out, “ the high school wrestling tournament is the most anticipated tournament of the year because of the SSNL banner which schools proudly display in their gymnasiums.” Ralph maintains that “most coaches prepare the whole year for the high school provincial tournament and a lot of hard work, and sweat is poured into getting ready for it.”

Carbonear Collegiate dominated male wrestling throughout the first decade of the twenty-first century finishing no lower than second at the SSNL Provincial Championship. The school won provincial male banners in 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

During weekend competition the male Sentinels were awarded eight out of fifteen possible gold medals in their division along with five silver and three bronze. Carbonear Collegiate totaled 85 team points while their closest competitors, Stephenville High School, accumulated 39. The tournament was very close up until the medal round. Coach Ralph commented that “the boys had to come up with some very important victories against some pretty tough wrestlers in order to secure the banner and they did just that.”

The Sentinel females have a history which is almost as successful as their male counterparts. They previously captured provincial SSNL high school titles in 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Unfortunately Carbonear Collegiate could not hold on to their four year reign as the top female wrestling team in the province. The girls were awarded three gold medals along with four silver and one bronze. The girls accumulated 40 team points, sixteen less than first place Stephenville High School. Female coach Frankie Ralph took the loss in stride. “The girls fought hard”, said Ralph, “they wrestled the best they could and I am sure they will work hard to get the banner back next year.”

Ascension Collegiate, coached by rookie coaches Kent Chaulk, and Blair Lane, had a tremendous showing with a fourth place in male competition and a fifth place in female. The boys team also picked up the male sportsmanship award

Here at Carbonear Collegiate, student behaviour is governed by a system we call "Sentinel Standards". This system is a set of student expectations with regard to certain settings in and around our school. Students, parents and guardians should become familiar with these expectations.
