The DVSS Junior A girls basketball team fought hard and came home with a bronze medal at Zones.
The Dynos were in Brooks on Friday and Saturday, March 1 and 2, to take on the top competition in South Central Alberta - the Zone Tournament. They brought their best for five games.
In their first game, the Dynos dominated Westmount School from Okotoks, winning 48-21. They went on to beat Holy Cross Collegiate of Strathmore 37-27 and then Strathcona-Tweedsmuir of Okotoks 42-34.
The Dynos went up against Glenmore Christian Academy of Calgary, but fell to the team that would eventually win the zone.
Despite this, the Dynos made it to the semi final, but were not able to get past the host team, St. Joseph’s Composite.
Coach Laura Hegberg said every member of the team battled hard all weekend to achieve the bronze medal.

If the Dynos aren’t careful, they might be stampeded.
The DVSS senior boys and girls are in for a battle as they have invited the Calgary Stampeders for an exhibition game on March 5.
Kidding aside, the game is for fun and will help the team raise funds for the DVSS athletics program for travel, tournaments and other expenses.
To say the Stampeders are competitive is an understatement. While the 2012 Grey Cup finalists are experts on the gridiron, they also can’t be taken lightly on the court. The football players are able to hold their own with their size and athleticism.
The senior boys and the senior girls teams will combine their forces to take on this formidable opponent and play eight-minute quarters. Following the game, the Calgary Stampeders will remain for an autograph session with players and fans.
The game is on Tuesday, March 5 at 6 p.m. at DVSS. Tickets are available at the door.

The DVSS Dynos senior boys basketball team, despite a season of injuries was able to come out on the top of the league.
The Dynos played for the league championship Monday night versus Acme. The two teams are no strangers to playing for the Golden Hills League Championship and over the last few years have both been in the mix.
Last year Acme won over Prairie Christian Academy. This year was the Dynos’ turn.
Coach Jeff Messom said it was a close game, however the Dynos were strong.
“It was a close game throughout but we led from the first quarter, by being able to control the tempo, by playing slow methodical basketball, which allowed us to keep our turnovers down, and focused on defending the 3 point line,” he said.
The Dynos won 63-52.
This is a great boost following their home tournament and heading into the post season.
A team all the way from Cranbrook had a sweet ride home after winning the DVSS tournament last weekend.
Leading down the stretch of the season the senior boys Dynos hosted an eight team home tournament last March 1 and 2. Mount Baker School of Cranbrook was the champions after a Saturday night victory over Heritage Christian Academy.
The Dynos had a strong tournament playing some top ranked competition.
The Dynos came out swinging versus Prairie Christian Academy and were able to dominate, winning 78-32.
This put the Dynos up against Heritage Christian Academy, but fell 71-40.
This put the Dynos into the third place match versus St. Joseph’s Collegiate of Brooks. The Dynos fell in a close 48-50 loss.
Zones for the Senior Boys Dynos are this weekend in Strathmore.
