The boys were so happy about this win that I had to post it in the blog. I don't normally post sports results in here but this one was special. The boys came to Brooks with a short side of only 6 players which made for a really tough game. Keaton Fougere, who had a stellar game, had to leave after the 3rd quarter so he could be on time for his soccer practice. The boys were playing a very tight defense, grabbing lots of rebounds and not letting anyone get shots off that were uncontested. We found ourselves up by 4 points with only 4 minutes to go and Brooks was applying the pressure to go for the win. With only 30 seconds to go Brooks had fought hard for a couple of points to tie the game up and the Assumption team was in a bit of a desperate situation. The ball was worked down court and ended up in the hands of Dustin Fair, who was able to put up a jump shot from inside the 3 point arc. The shot was good with only 10 seconds left. The Brooks team had another chance to work the ball down the court only to be denied by the stellar defense of the Assumption team and the boys tasted the sweet victory of a 22-20 game. The boys have been practicing hard and playing some tough games to improve their skills in order to win the game on Thursday. Great efforts by Mark Silvey, Chase Colquhoun, Savraj Bains, Hunter Peters, Dustin Fair, and Keaton Fougere. I look forward to coaching many more games with this group. They play hard while winning and losing, their dedication goes beyond the practice times, and they play as a team.
