Grade 7 Crusaders team wins tournament in Lloyd
It was just the fourth time the team had played together, yet the Crusaders Grade 7 basketball team made up of students from Holy Family, Notre Dame, and Ecole Monseigneur Blaise Morand won a gold medal at an eight-team tournament in Lloydminster last weekend.
They won all three games, including winning the gold medal game by 20 points.
“I kind of knew they were an athletic bunch,” head coach Shalen Fox said. “This was a good weekend, where they got to spend the whole day with each other and were able to become closer and get more comfortable with each other.”
This is the second year that Fox has coached a Grade 7 team made up of students in the local school division (he also coaches the senior boys team at JP II). Last year, there was one team, but this year there are two teams of 10.
