   The DVSS Dynos Senior boys played well at this year’s Superman Tournament in Three Hills, but injuries contributed to a tough weekend for the team.
   The Superman Tournament, played January 29-30, is one of the premiere events in the basketball calendar, drawing on some of the best talent in the province. DVSS has been invited for a number of years.
   The Dynos began tournament play versus J.R. Robson. The Dynos were leading in the fourth quarter, but lost one of their starters to an injury. They fell 77-60.
   In their second game on Friday, they faced Prairie Christian Academy and again lost another starter to an injury early on. Depleted, they fell 54-48.
   Their final games were against the host Three Hills and again they played well but lost 60-49.
   Coach Messom said the injuries, while not endemic, did take a toll last weekend.
   “We were unable to get any offensive flow going after that,” he said.
   He has seen some improvement as the season continues.
   “We are seeing some improvement on the defensive end of the floor, but still having issues on offense and finishing off in the 4th quarter and closing games, as we had a lead in the 4th on all three teams,” he said.
   The Dynos have a bye this week in league play and then head to Strathmore February 12-13, for tournament play.

It’s been a challenging couple weeks with final exams and trying to get practices in. The girls played with a lot of intensity for most of the game, which is very encouraging. My two captains (Karis Hilchey and Rachel Engen) are great leaders and are very positive young ladies, and I believe they are a big part of our team growth.” The final score was 45-35 in favor of Trochu.

On Thursday January 28, St. Anthony’s hosted Beiseker School to a basketball competition. Coach Joey Browning:
“The Final Score was 73-18 in favor of the Sabres.The team played great,I feel as though this game was when they started to really come together and fully understand what I had been coaching.They showed great aggressiveness on defense and our offense looked smooth and in-sync. I couldn’t have asked for a better game.”
Coach Browning further said “Ben Masson was my star of the game. He finally came out of his shell, and started to attack the hoop more and showed some grit on defense. It was a great win for the boys and I look forward to continuing this newly found cohesion on Tuesday, when we play Airdrie.”
