This past weekend our school along with Greystone and Broxton hosted the Power of Three Senior Basketball tournament. Its a big undertaking with 32 teams in the draw, using four gyms over three days. Two members of our staff took on the majority of the organization and our school is indebted to them. Mr. McLachlan and Mr Chan ran a tournament that went off without a hitch. It is a testament to them that the last thing a team's coach says leaving the gym is, "See you next year."
We have gained a reputation as a must attend tournament. Our School Counsel run a GREAT concession at Woodhaven, our sponsors provide great food for the coaches room (thanks Pizza 73), our basketball parents also provide food for our coaches room (the chilli was great) and our half time trivia contests are a big hit with everyone. Mr. Luck and Mr. Chan stole the show on Thursday night when they started a game of 'Stump the Ref' and had the crowd enthralled.
Who won....everyone. Our teams won some games, lost some games and generally played hard. The Power of Three tournament is what youth sport is supposed to be all about; young people learning life lessons like commitment, hard work and cooperation through competition. Thanks Mr. McLachlan and Mr. Chan for making it happen.
