The DVSS senior boys Dynos basketball will be in action this weekend as they hope to defend their hometown tournament championship.
The 2013 Battle in the Badlands is this January 11 and 12 and features eight top teams in the province in the Oregon style draw.
“It should be really tough tournament for us to repeat as champions as there are a lot of good quality teams participating,” said Dynos head coach Jeff Messom.
Teams include Acme, who is ranked at the top of the 1A teams in Alberta. J.R. Robson and Rimby have both achieved honourable mentions in the first round of 2A rankings, Holy Cross Colligate is ranked 9 and Millwoods Christian is ranked seventh.
Because of this, there could be some changes in the next set of rankings as DVSS also has a honourable mention.
Action for the Dynos begins at 2:30 on Friday afternoon as they take on J.H. Picard. If they are successful, they will play at 11:45 Saturday morning. If they move on, the championship is at 7:30 Saturday evening.
The Dynos will be working off the Christmas turkey at their home tournament this coming weekend. They will be on the court on Friday at 2:30 p.m. the championship is Saturday night at 7:30 p.m.
