Junior A Girls Dynos Basketball are heading toward the end of their regular season, and their hard work and practice is showing.
“They have improved 110 per cent from the beginning of the season,” said Coach Wendy Olson, noting the group of girls is starting to gel as a team. The team is made up of seven
grade 9 players and three grade 8 players.
Olson said for the remainder of the team’s season, the coaches are looking for the players to nail down the fundamentals more solidly, with cleaner passing and stronger plays. “Our end result is to see improvement in all of our basketball players.”
The Junior A girls Hosted an eight team tournament February 6 & 7 won by Clearwater Academy over Strathmore’s Crowther Memorial in the final game.
St. Anthony’s took fourth place. Olson said the team won their final game, which was probably their best showing of the tournament.
Olson said the team began hosting a home tournament when they moved back from the old central school about three years ago.
For the upcoming year, she said coaches are looking at hosting a Junior A boys and girls tournament the same weekend, with four teams competing in each tournament.
The last home game for the Junior A girls Dynos is February 26 versus Prairie Christian Academy. Olson said the team is hoping for a win, to place either second or third in the Golden Hills School Division League. The team plays league finals the end of March, and then heads to zone playoffs in Okotoks.
