Canterbury Game

Well the boys had their first taste of the New "AA" league and they liked it.

In our first game of the year the boys game out with a big time effort early on and made sure to take advantage of their opportunities. It was clear early on that CHS was not going to be able to contain the boys strength and athleticism.

With a 1st Quarter score of 27-7 and a halftime lead of 58-8 by the time the boys went to the locker room the contest was decided. Out of a respect to the hosts who had done them a favour by replacing a game on their schedule the boys came out in the second half and made sure the game didn't get out of hand. They took the air out of ball chewing up clock on offense and working on set ways to score.

10 of 11 Mariners scored. 4 Mariners ended up in double digits (Reese Gaudett, Jarred Weston, Billy Muxworthy, Mark Dwyer). The team shot 8-11 from the free throw line in a noted improvement from an area of concern last season. The final was 81-21.

Overall it was a strong performance effort wise and a good opportunity for everyone to work on execution. The boys next game is Wednesday at home against ESA.
