The Sulphur City Secondary School (SCSS) has achieved a remarkable milestone by securing playoff spots in all six tournaments organized by the Ministry of Youth Development & Sports for the 2025-2026 term. The school is excelling in various categories, including Under-15 and Under-19 boys’ football, Under-16 and Under-19 girls’ netball, Under-16 boys’ basketball, and Under-16 table tennis. This unprecedented success underscores SCSS’s dominance in youth sports. Meanwhile, District 8, comprising Soufrière and Canaries, continues its reign as two-time Inter-District primary school track and field champions. SCSS has also maintained a near-unbeatable record in schools’ netball for nearly a decade. Their basketball team, despite reaching the finals three consecutive years, is yet to claim the title. However, they are back in the semifinals this Tuesday, with a strong chance of advancing to Thursday’s final, marking their fourth straight appearance. Coach Marc Antoine expressed cautious optimism after their 48–38 quarterfinal victory over Leon Hess Comprehensive Secondary School. He acknowledged the team’s subpar execution but praised their adherence to the game plan. The boys from Sulphur City are determined to return to the finals and secure the championship this time. Antoine, who also coaches the Soufrière Kings in the KFC National Basketball League, emphasized his role in developing young talent from an early age. His goal is to guide the teams as far as possible in the tournaments, with the ultimate aim of reaching the finals.
The Soufrière Comprehensive Secondary School is having quite a moment in school sports; make that a full-blown season.
