JV Tigers Basketball thankful for support

By Grant ‘Hymie’ Hurrell Submitted

A very successful Junior Varsity boys basketball season culminated with a zone championship win, when the NACI Tigers had a narrow win over Carberry Cougars. We had a strong roster of 20 players who worked extremely hard and improved weekly. I run a developmental program and played all the players as evenly as possible, and I was really happy to see their improvement. We attended a provincial play-in tournament in Winnipeg and shortened the bench and fared very well, losing to the #1 seed by about 20 pts, and lost our second game in overtime; both to Winnipeg teams. A highlight was a tournament in Winkler, losing to the host team, Winnipeg vs Sanford and losing to Steinbach. The teacher in charge complimented the boys on their decorum and several of the refs took me aside and told me our boys were very respectful towards them; some of the best behaviour they have seen recently.

Thanks to the players: Sammy Uyaivato, Yves Ngolab, Yael Quilala, Yan Yana, Trent Tomoniko, Anson Aglangao, Mico Cabacungan, Christain Gamino, Iris Regala, Roberto Sarmiento, Omen Battad, Yuri Salta, Sid Morales, Cielo Darato, Juris Luna, Lance Macalindong, Crile Navarro, Lian Alvero, Nico Carlos, Mark Manjares and Phil Soltes.

Thanks for all your hard work and all the laughs we had. You guys are the reason I love coaching and can hardly wait till next season.

A big thanks to parents Cabacungan and Aglangao who provided meals-to-go on our trips to Winkler and Winnipeg. Tomoniko Farms who subsidized our Winkler accommodations. The biggest thanks goes to Sylvie Tomoniko, our teacher/ supervisor. This amazing lady put in countless hours: setting up our tournament, games, practices, transportation, basically everything. We couldn’t have a season without her.

Age 34 years

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joshua Buchanan on February 10, 2023, at Stormville, New York.

Joshua will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his Dad Greg; Step Mom Diane; his sister Roxanne; niece Delilah; brother Joel; grandpa Macklin; grandma Irene(pre-deceased); uncles Myles(Cathy), Randy(Val), Neal (Brenda); aunt Kerry(Ken); as well as his cousins Shawn, Stacey, Shantel, Brianna, Brett, Jannelle, Erika and numerous family and friends.

Joshua-Shane was born in Ottawa, Ontario where he spent most of his life. Josh loved his family and friends, he would go out of his way to help them and anyone in need. I can recall several trips to the principal’s office because Josh stood up to some bullies picking on another kid. The short end of the stick usually went to Joshua, but that never stopped him from taking a stand against the bullies out there. He believed you could change anything for the better!

Joshua loved to joke around and have fun with family and friends. He loved music, reading, learning different languages and other cultures. He loved cars, travel and Josh enjoyed hiking, going for walks, canoeing, skiing and he loved to bowl just like his grandpa Mac! Joshua’s selfless nature will be deeply missed by all who knew him and I’m sure he is still helping others in need.

Psalm 100: 3-5

3. Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

5 For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.

Cremation will take place in Ottawa, Ontario. Final interment will occur late in spring at Sidney Cemetery in Sidney, Manitoba.
