Boys Basketball

On Wednesday, Feb. 22nd, the Intermediate Boys Basketball team participated in the area qualifying tournament which concluded their season. The boys competed ferociously and demonstrated exceptional sportsmanship. Even though the competition was very good, the boys maintained a positive attitude and approached defeat with humour. We might not have been the most talented team at the tournament, but we were definitely the most joyful and good spirited athletes there! Mr. Babin and Mme Forde are very proud of the perseverance they demonstrated.

Congratulations to both teams, and thanks to the parents for supporting our players by driving them to tournaments and cheering on the players.  A very special thank you to our amazing coaches – Mme Forde, Ms. McMurray, and Mr. Babin. Go Vikings go!
