The Drumheller Valley Secondary School senior girls Dynos came away with another win in the Battle of Drumheller, winning over the St. Anthony’s School Sabres.
The two had met prior to the Christmas break, where the Dynos took a decisive win.
In their second meeting the Dynos repeated by taking a large lead early in the game and not letting go. The Sabres, still recovering from injuries, had to field a small roster and were subsequently left tired.
Prior to the game, the Dynos were coming off a successful tournament in Stettler on the weekend of February 9.
“The tournament was good. We played Eckville first and won 64-16. Then we played Stettler and lost 52-50 which was a hard loss because we were the two best teams at the tournament and weren’t going to the final. Then we played Koinonia Christian school from Red Deer and won 80-37,” said Jennifer Raugust, head coach of the Dynos.
However, the team was dealt a crippling blow during the tournament. Two players were injured, one of whom had her season ended.
Both teams had a break this week, but will be returning to action on Monday. The Sabres will be hosting the Trochu Blue Jays and the Dynos the Three Hills Chiefs. Both games start at 5:15 p.m.
The Dynos are also looking ahead to provincials.
“The girls have been working hard to achieve our goal of getting to provincials. I believe in the girls and really think that our goal is achievable,” said Raugust. “As long as we can maintain our composure and rise to the occasion in tough games I know we can get there.”
