Saints Finish With Silver

P. Varga Saint Mary’s Catholic School

St. Mary’s junior high boys’ basketball team ended their year by playing in the Elk Island Public Schools Small School Championship game. Played in Fort Saskatchewan at Andre Bessette High School, the game involved numerous lead changes and was a basket for basket battle. The game’s outcome was in doubt until the dying seconds. The final score was Cardinals 49 and Saints 48.

Members of St. Mary’s junior high boys’ basketball team finished off their season with silver after an exciting final game in Fort Saskatchewan recently.

Coach Varga commented that he was very proud of all his players. “They worked hard all season with an overall win-loss record of 13-10, with three tournament final appearances. The Saints had to compete against full squad teams of all Grade 9 players with their mixed roster of Grade 7, 8 and 9. Clearly evident was that the boys’ learned and progressed with their skills throughout the season. I truly hope that they all gained a love for the game!”
