DVSS hosts senior boys tournament this weekend
Fans of DVSS basketball will have a chance to cheer on their team as they march into the post season this weekend.
This year the Senior Boys DVSS Dyno's are hosting the Zone Tournament to determine which teams from the area will go on to the provincial tournament.
And while the Dynos are riding high with a top ranking in the zone and second overall ranking at the provincial level for 2A basketball, it is not a foregone conclusion.
“We have to focus on taking care of the ball and playing good team defense,” said head coach Jeff Messom, discussing the keys for the Dynos.
The slate of teams includes Hanna, Oyen, St. Joseph’s Collegiate of Brooks, Strathcona Tweedsmuir of Okotoks, Holy Cross of Strathmore, Hugh Sutherland School of Carstairs and Prairie Christian Academy (PCA).
The competition will be strong. This year the Dynos were successful in beating the Holy Cross team, who is ranked third in the Zone, twice. PCA is another strong team, with a fifth overall provincial ranking. The Dynos have a 2-1 record versus PCA.
“I think it is a pretty competitive field and it is going to come down to which team has everything working for them,” said Messom.
DVSS will first take the court tonight (Friday) at 6:15 p.m. versus Hanna. If they are successful, they will play the winner of St. Joseph’s Collegiate and Oyen Saturday morning at 11:45 p.m. The championship game is Saturday night at 6:15 p.m.
