Selwyn House Gold

It wasn’t without drama, however. The boys lost two of their first four games and were in last place going into the semi-finals. But a comfortable win over Loyola put them into the finals against Selwyn House. A tight, four-point victory saw the Knights win the trophy. 

“It was a very exciting team to watch with lots of hussle,” said coach Wayne Bibby. “There’s some talent there and they all put forth a really good effort. They try hard.” 

The boys were very excited to win and it was even more special considering it was only their second time playing together.
 

The U12 team also played in the tournament and didn’t fare as well, going winless in Montreal. But coach Adrian Thornbury was very proud of the way the boys played and conducted themselves during their six intense games. 

“With only two returning players, the U12 team lead a young, inexperienced group onto the court. For some it was their first game in organized basketball and for others, just passionate athletes,” said Mr. Thornbury. “Once the tournament was complete, the results were apparent, but despite the losses, the gains were more substantial. They worked hard and worked together to build themselves into a team.” 

U12 player Spencer Scott went on the trip for the second year in a row and had a great time, despite not picking up a win. 

“You can’t always do as you hoped,” he said. “We weren’t disappointed, but we could have gotten a win had we played more games. We still had a great time – we went on a tour of the Bell Centre!”
