Information & Reflections from Last Week:

• Jr. High Basketball – Congratulations to our Jr. High Girls Basketball team who went undefeated after the first 2 games of the season! What a success story of motivation and perseverance!! The final tournament included 2 of the toughest wins the team ever faced. Tired, injured, nervous,… but they stuck together and did it! In the final game they were behind 20-19 with 3 minutes left. Lina scored one of two from the free throw line to tie the game and they hung on to go into a 3 minute overtime. Neither team scored for the first minute and a half. Then Isa was fouled and went to the free throw line. She had been practicing her free throws all season, usually missing, but came through when it counted to put the team up 21-20. Then,   Lina would score an insurance basket to finish at the final buzzer 23-20. Pembina Hills champions looks good on you coach Spitzer and team!
