  Prep Men (U17) Division:

VIBA South (U17) (1W-4L):

Co - Coaches: Lucky Walia and Gord Thatcher

Players: Spencer Ewart, Jordan Hendry, Alex Laurin, Kirill Moisyeyev, Raj Pandher, Mukiya Post, Ryley Ross, Michael Stooke, Malcolm Turner.

Summary: "We had a young group that took some lumps;  however, we started to learn the value of 'moving the ball' & competing."  

VIBA "Vic" Prep (U17) (5W-0L):

Co - Coaches: Blake Gage and John Boccabella

Players: Francis Rowe, John Chandler, Josh Reddy, Manny Pasquale, Matt Murray, Mitch Bancroft, Dave McKay, Casey Parsons.

Summary:"Vic/VIBA Prep managed to prevail in two tough battles on Monday to capture the Prep Boys title.  The squad fended off runs in both the semi and finals from hungry opponents who forced them to make shots and get stops down the stretch to secure the victories.  The final game saw us fall behind 5 in the second half before righting the ship and maintaining a 7 point lead to victory.  I don't know the exact scores of any of the games."

Summary: "This tournament was a good experience for all the players with respect to the chance to gauge themselves against other players their age from BC and Washington.
Overall, we were competitive and with only having one practice/week, it showed our need to improve in the team defense side of the game. Thanks for the chance to attend; all the players are excited about the upcoming trip to Blaine…"
