The Sacred Heart Grade 5 girls basketball team capped a highly successful season with an impressive showing at the recent Star of the Sea School Tournament in South Surrey.
The team of 20 players was split into two squads that went on to finish second and third respectively. It was a great tournament with many highlights as every player contributed in some way to Sacred Heart's excellent result.
While the team enjoyed plenty of success by winning eight of 11 games, according to coaches Jason Jones and Richard Callow, the four most important reasons it was a great season included strong participation numbers, the sportsmanship displayed each game, the hard work and dedication shown by the girls and the steady improvement of their basketball skills.
"I am very proud of the players for many things, including their amazing work and great character in practices and games this season,. They were a really fun team to coach," said Jones.
The roster includes: Ava Groves, Carmen Accili, Catrina Callow, Darcy Brett, Elena Zanuzzi, Emily Silva Pinto, Erin McHugh, Eva Stewart, Hailey Krueger, Hayley Adams, Julia Dosenberg, Katie Min, Lauren Accili, Magdalen Munro, Mary Verdon, Nicole Moorehead, Samantha Cates, Sarah Martin, Sierra Avila and Sophia Fiske.
