21st ANNUAL 26TH STREET TOURNAMENT RECAP
The 21st annual 26th Street Tournament was another success with 10 teams from around BC in attendance. Congrats to our Senior Girls for a good showing and entertaining the YHS crowd with an exciting come from behind win over Charles Hays 54-51. Senior Tiger Emma was named Tiger of the Tournament.
Our Junior Tigers competed against Senior Teams at 26th Street as a challenge to prepare for a run at BCs. Our Juniors played great winning 3 of their 4 games. This included an impressive 72-31 win over Kitsilano Seniors and an overtime 73-71 win over Senior AA ranked Pitt Meadows. The Pitt Meadows win was especially impressive as our Tired Junior Team was outsized by a big Pitt Meadows team and had to rely on the scoring ability of Grade 10 guard Nadeen. Nadeen is an exceptional player who scored a tournament and YHS record 50pts in the win. Juniors Finny and Nadeen were named Tournament Allstars.
