JV @ GM

In a hard fought game the visiting Mariners came out just shy in a 72-71 overtime loss to the host Breakers.

After arriving in the early afternoon the boys played a game beginning at 4pm and jumped out to an early lead. By the 2nd quarter the home breakers had managed to take a lead on some strong passing and poor spacing by the Fundy defense. GM lead at 1/2 time 45- 35.

In the second haf the Mariners defended with better effort and forced an overtime by tieing the game 59-59 to end regulation.

In the overtime frame the Breakers pulled out a back a forth struggle hitting the game winning free throw in the dying seconds.

JV Boys @ CAMPO

A little short handed by injury and travel restrictions, the Fundy Mariners travelled to play Campobello. In the first 1/2 Fundy played as many of the boys as they had in order to get people time and to save legs after their 3rd game in 4 days. While everyone was scoring the defense was a little suspect early on. This led to a 1/2 time deficit of 41 - 33.

In the second 1/2 with some tightened rotations the boys stepped up managed to score 43 in the final 2 quarters while holding Campo to 24. The final being 76-65

Leading the way for the Mariners was Ashton Bradley with 21, Colby Craig chipped in with 12, and Dylan Hall added 10.

Good Luck to the boys this week as they take on 2-0 Harvey High School at home. I also hope Tanner Thompson's finger heals well and quickly as I know how much he wants to play and the team misses him.

Blue vs. White Game

Friday night was a great experience.

Everyone in attendance got lots of playing time and the coaches were impressed with the aggression shown on both sides. A little scrappy early in the year, but overall I thought the experience was really positive.

Special notes coming out of the evening:

- Josh Carrier scored his first basket in a competitive game situation as a basketball player.
- Greg Healy and Elliot Thorne may have set a record for must unnecessary consecutive collisions.
- Coach Edwards definitely helped out the JV's on the boards.
- If Cory Moore and Jon Henry are willing to be that physical with people on their program, other schools and players may need to watch out.
- That official sure was good looking.

Varsity Boys vs SJDA

Depending on your perspective it was an amazing or very anticlimactic beginning to the Fundy High Varsity Boys basketball season.

In their season and league opener they were hosted by the nearby Sir James Dunn Algonquin. SJDA's first varsity boys team in a number of years was badly outmatched by the Mariners. Fundy's team played everyone basically equal minutes rolling lines every 2-3 minutes. Everyone put forth a solid effort and it showed in the early 33-0 first quarter score after 10 minutes.

As the game wore on the visiting Mariners did a variety of things to try to keep the game as competitive and positive as possible. Pulling their defense back to half court and trying to make extra passes offensively. This made little difference as the half time margin had grown to 53-4.

In the end the Mariners steadily pulled away despite a variety of tactics being practiced to run time off the clock. They won handily 101-10.

The next action for the Mariners will be Friday night in the Blue and White Game scrimmaging the JV team.

JV Boys - Mcadam vs. Fundy

In a high paced game the Fundy Mariners got some pay back from last years trip to Mcadam with a 36 point win in their season opener.

After giving a small lead to the home team in the opening minutes Fundy came on strong applying tremendous pressure defensively to a clearly out matched and much younger McAdam team. By half time the Mariners had built a commanding 45-13 lead. This ended up turning into a 76-40 victory for the visiting Fundy squad.

Every player dressed for Fundy recorded points on the score sheet. Leading the way was Dylan Hall with 18 pts on 9-12 shooting. Ashton Bradley chipped in with 13 and Alex Nadeau added 8.

Fundy has a scrimmage with the Varsity boys Friday night and then a league game in Campobello on Saturday.
