Senior Tigers Update: February 27, 2020

SENIOR TIGERS RETURN TO THE AA BC CHAMPIONSHIPS
This week, the Senior Basketball Tigers will be back in familiar territory. York House Tigers were a fixture at the BCs from 1998-2014 having competed in 17 consecutive BC Championships. Something no other program in BC has achieved. To add to that impressive streak, York House always placed top 8 with one 8th place finish, two 6th place finishes, one 5th place finish, one 3rd place finish, four silver medals, and eight BC Championships. 

The Tigers enter the tournament as the 5th seed in the 16 team draw. We are a young team led by Grade 11 standout Nadeen and a host of talented Grade 10s (including Avery, Finny, Mila, Rain, Kasey, and Sophie) who are no strangers to BC Championships (they won in Grade 8 and placed 9th last year as Juniors). The Senior roster also enjoys the talent and depth by Grade 12s Emma, Akash, Chloe, Jacqueline, Amneet, Natalie, and Maddie.

Game 1 for the Tigers was on Wednesday, February 26 at 1:30 pm vs 12th seeded Holy Cross. Games continue Thursday-Saturday, February 27-29 at the Langley Events Centre (LEC).
