The St. Anthony’s Saints Junior B girls basketball team had their first win of the season versus Standard School.
The young team, made up mostly of Grade 6 and 7 players hosted Standard School on Wednesday, January 14 and captured a 30-14 win.
Bailey Faubion is coaching the young team and is impressed by her players’ attitudes.
“The part I love most about my team is that they are willing to listen,” she said. “I can relate to the shoes they are in now, so they really listen to what I have to say and we have lots of fun together. They’re a really great group of girls,” said Faubion.
This attitude is helping the girls improve and it showed in the result last week.
“They work so hard and it clearly showed during the game,” she said. “The learning curve is steep but they absorb everything we have to say and they want to become better basketball players. They know by listening and working hard they can become better.”
Her goal is for the team to improve on their positioning on offense.
This Friday, January 23, the Saints Junior B is hosting their home tournament. They have invited Standard, Bassano, and Prairie Christian Academy to compete in the round robin tourney. Their first game is at 1 p.m. versus Bassano.
