Brrrrr...-23 is how the day started when we left Edmonton bound for Saskatoon this morning and -25 is how the day ended as we returned to the hotel after our first game. On top of losing a hour, Only 5 athletes made the four and a half our trip east on highway 16. Tracey, Dale, Richard, Ken and Rob.
Unfortunately the host club team saskatchewan was with out a couple of players for the first game so in the spirit of competition our very own Ken offered to join them so we could have a good game.
Game #1
With our only substitute playing against us Dale, Tracey, Richard and Rob iron-maned it for 4 quarters. We started strong. Marching down for the goal with in seconds of the opening whistle but Ken would never let his team win with out a fight no matter who he was playing for. He showed why he was a leader on the court. He played smart and was always talking with his team mates. Saskatchewan tried to keep it close and even closed the gap in the later minutes of the game but ended up losing 43-34.
Now it's back to the hotel for food...despite the weather a bonus is this tournament we have a great schedule. We play tomorrow at noon against Team BC and at 1:30 against Calgary. We get to sleep in and leave the gym early...that doesn't happen very often so we will take it. Night!
