SG Basketball: Team Victory

By Erik Van Dyke
Twelve days ago, in our first game back from the Christmas break, we travelled all the way to Victoriaville to play our worst game of the year versus Le Boise, a listless 33-24 loss. This past Tuesday was our chance at redemption. At home this time.
 
And redemption it was. In our most inclusive game of the season, nine players scored en route to a comprehensive 40-24 revenge victory. In fact, after ending the first quarter down 11-6, the Red & White turned it up a notch and outscored their opponents 34-13(!) the rest of the way, featuring a 12-0 run to start the second quarter.
 
There were a lot of highlights this game, not the least of which was some suffocating defence in the last three quarters, but my personal Top 3 highlights were:
  1. that picture-perfect Camryn to Nya to Majo fast-break bucket
  2. Julia going 4-for-4 from the free-throw line
  3. Player Of The Game Halle Khanna’s outstanding fourth quarter, featuring 3 steals on defence and 8 points on the fast break
Next up, the BCS Tournament this Friday/Saturday, with rematches coming up against The Study, St-George’s, and potentially ECS (if we were to make it to the final). Here we go!
