GOLDS' PRACTICE SCHEDULE FOR EXAM WEEK

We will practice at the Jackson Campus on Tuesday and Thursday, from 6:00 pm to 7:30. Our first game on Friday is at 5:00 pm (PVSS) against Valley View from Kamloops. They are a good quick shooting team and will be a challenge. Wake up early every day and study... study...study! Use your time wisely during the day to study and prepare yourself to practice hard at night. Good luck on your exams boys and I will see you at practice.

#1 KSS VISITS GOLDS ON WEDNESDAY

I am hoping that many of you will be able to attend the game at SASS on Wednesday, January 18th. The #1 KSS Owls are in town for their second meeting against the Golds. In our first match-up, the Golds fell to the Owls 104 to 29 - I am expecting a better performance by the young Golds both offensively and defensively in our second meeting. As a TEAM the Golds have been improving and our Basketball IQ is slowly increasing. Although our offensive output has been poor against great teams like KSS and South Kamloops, we have been able to compete against some good AAA teams. The reallity is that basketball is what it is right now in Salmon Arm - we have great athletes who play soccer, hockey, football, etc..., however we do not have a group of committed players that make basketball a priority. And until that changes, we will not be able to compete with great teams. Wednesday would be a GREAT OPPORTUNITY for our young basketball players in town to see an excellent team - the size and hieght is impressive, and their skill is outstanding. Girl's game is at 5:00 and the Boy's game begins at 6:45.
