Week of Feb.27-Mar.2

Congratulations to everyone on a good effort at the Zone Tournament!

We won game 1 over Cedars by 7 points, lost by 7 to College Heights, beat Correlieu by 2 points, and lost to Columneetza by 1 point.  The total difference was 1 point after 4 games!!

Great excitement, lots of challenges!  I was impressed with everyone's effort and desire to compete!

We should have another game on Thursday right after school versus the Grade 8 Girls - hope everyone can make it!  Please bring your uniforms to the game and we'll take a team photo following.

Week of Feb.20-25

In preparation for the upcoming Zone Tournament at Duchess Park, we will practice after school Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday - 3:30-5:00 PM.

Zone Tournament update - Our First Game is Thursday, Feb.23 at 5:30 against Cedars Christian!
Friday morning, we will play at 9 AM (or 10:30 AM if we lose) so we will need to get a good night's rest Thursday night with an early departure from NVSS on Friday!

The Draw was adjusted Tuesday morning to accomodate Columneetza.  The change to the draw means we may end up playing either College Heights or Kelly Road on Friday morning.

Good luck, team!

Re:  Jr Girls Zone Tournament  @ Duchess Park, Feb 23, 24 and 25, 2012

Only 10 teams have registered with the Jr Girls Basketball Association at this time, according to Ray Bourque (regional rep for Jr. Girls Basketball). Here is his update:
 
Thank you to those coaches/AD's that took the time to register.  

The berthing for the Jr. Girls' Zones is as follows:
Host team: 1 berth
West: 1 berth
South: 1 berth
Prince George: 2 berths
North: 1 berth
Wildcard: 2 berths (to be determined based on season results)

The Zone Championships will be held on the above dates, with the first games being on Thursday, Feb 23, at either 4:00 or 5:30 pm.  A zone draw of game times (without teams) will be sent out early next week to help out of town teams with their travel times.

All regional playoffs must be completed by Feb 18 and please send me your results as soon as possible.  There will be T-shirt order forms that must be completed by Monday, Feb 20th.  
In the North region, there appears to be only 1 team (Ft Nelson) that is interested in participating in the Zone Championships.  I need this confirmed from the other teams in Ft. St. John and Dawson Creek. (reply to sender)

Here were the final Standings for the Immaculata Tournament
  1.    Immaculata
  2.    Salmon Arm
  3.    Abbotsford Christian
  4.    Pacific Christian
  5.    Mt Boucherie
  6.    Kalamalka
  7.    Princess Margaret
  8.    Similkameen
  9.    Charles Bloom 
 10.   Heritage Christian
 11.   Grand Forks
 12.   Vernon Christian
 13.   Vanderhoof
 14.   Columneetza
 15.   Summerland
 16.   Duncan Christian

We lost to Similkameen by 11 and Charles Bloom by 1 point.  I think we were capable of beating many of these teams, although the top teams had some very big players and some very skillful guards and were probably out of our reach.

It was good to see all the teams play and to note the effort our team was capable of.  We defeated Summerland by a good margin and after a double overtime we won over Columneetza by 1 point - what an exciting game!
