Senior Boys Basketball Team struggle at Tip-Off Tournament

The Senior team had an inconsistent outing at White Pines over the weekend. The team showed sporadic signs of greatness in all three games versus St-Basil's, St-Mary's, and White Pines. Unfortunately, the team performed numerous physical and mental mistakes which resulted in a winless weekend. The team needs to sychronize their efforts in order to put together a great 32 minute team game. The boys will need to 'punch the clock' (work hard) at monday's practice if they wish to be a successful basketball team.
