Yesterday afternoon, our grade 7 Cardinal boys rolled into Forest Glade to take on host LA Desmarais in their league opener.
Excitement filled the gym, as the young Cards stepped onto the floor together for their first battle. As the game began, nerves were firing rapidly, but our boys would hold their own in the opening frame.
The ball went up and down the floor on both ends with quick pace, and our boys capitalized on a number of "And 1" opportunities, taking the ball right at the experienced Desmarais squad.
The score remained pretty tight throughout, with each team responding to the others' scoring bursts.
The Cardinal boys were led on both ends of the floor by Jonah T., and got some scoring punch from Michael M.
Great job boys! Next up for the boys is the Brennan tournament on Tuesday morning.
