Campobello Tournament

Weather played havoc with the schedule moving all the games to Saturday. Cambridge Narrows couldn't make it so it became a 3 team round robin.

Campobello played Fundy in the first game. Apparently no one told the Mariners the game had started until the 2nd quarter. The first ended with the mariners having given up 33 points and down 22. The Mariners to their credit battled, while still not playing great defense began attacking the back boards and transitioning hard to up the tempo. By half time it was 58-42 and had the makings of a great ball game. The third and 4th quarters were more of the same with the Mariners cutting the lead down to single digits late but never able to get enough stops to overcome their early short comings.

The final was 105-95. PLayer of the game for the Mariners was Billy Muxworthy with 28.

In the second game the Mariners were forced to play back to back in a contest with the Western Conference leading Devon Park Eagles. It was another hard pressed contest with a tied score of 42-42 at half time. The second hald slowed down considerably with the Eagles trying to stay disciplined and the Mariners showing the effects of back to back play.

The Mariners led until late in the 4th quarter, when foul trouble, injuries and the effort of 2 hard pressed games caught up with them. The Eagles mounted a late run to win 78-72.

Player of the Game for Fundy was Mircea Dugalici.

Tournament All- Star for Fundy was Jarred Weston.
