The Sr. Tigers Basketball Team travelled to Las Vegas, Nevada over the winter break to take part in the Las Vegas Invitational at Mountain View Christian Secondary. The Tigers started off with an easy win over River Valley of Arizona. In game two, the Tigers defeated the host school, Mountain View Christian. In the semi-final game, the Tigers played Chadwick, a prominant private school from the Los Angeles area. In a battle that game down to the final minutes, the Tigers held on for a 3pt win.  In the final, York House took on Gig Harbour of Washington. Again, the Tigers built a small lead and held off a late Gig Harbour run to win the 16 team tournament.

The Tigers were led by Alisha who was named tournament MVP.

The Sr. Tigers found themselves in the Championship Game of the 2010 HSBC Tournament Saturday night at 5:30 vs AAA#2 Riverside. Riverside was on fire – shooting 7/9 from the 3pt line in the first quarter. While the Tigers stayed within 10-12 points for the first half, they just coudn’t get the momentum going. A good loss to learn from. It was amazing to see all the number of alum and former parents out to watch and cheer us on!

To make it to the final game, the Tigers defeated AAA#8 Centennial 89-72 in the semi finals. They also previously defeated a very good Britannia team 70-51 to reach the Final 4 in the HSBC tournament on December 8.
