The DVSS Junior High Basketball team is on its way to the league finals next Tuesday at home.
The DVSS Senior boys basketball team hosted Three Hills on Monday night for seniors night, and while it wasn’t the competition they would hope for heading into the post season, it was a strong win.
The Dynos were able to cycle their whole bench getting everyone playing time as they routed Three Hills. They were able to hold the team from the west to just three points in the first quarter and carried on for the 83-26 win. Jordan Britton had a team high of 23 points.
Despite the impressive finish to league play, there was some strong competition, and the Dynos were shut out of the league final. Acme took the top spot. While the Dynos split with PCA this season, PCA had more total points breaking the tie, and finishing in second.
The Dynos however have the post season to look forward to. Currently they are ranked in first place in the province at the 2A level, and PCA is ranked fourth. That could change however as one more set of rankings are to come out before the post season.
The Dynos will have home court advantage however as they will be hosting the zone tournament coming up on March 9 and 10.
The DVSS Senior girls Basketball team wrapped up its league play Monday night as they hosted Three Hills.
While it wasn’t the high the team was looking for to wrap up the season, they worked hard, according to coach Ryan Hatch.
The team found themselves down but rallied in the fourth quarter and finished with a respectable 57-43 loss.
“It is amazing they have improved so much,” said Hatch. “The fourth quarter was an example of how much they improved their capabilities this year.”
Bailey Faubion had a team high of 11 points in the loss.
The team finished in fourth place in the league.
The season is not over for the team. This weekend they are heading to Rocky Mountain House for tournament play. While they are on the road, they will meet some familiar faces as they face Acme in the first game of the eight team tournament.
The team has a shot at zones. Hatch says the Dynos have to play a qualifier to get into the tournament to move on. They will have some steep competition however. Because the DVSS team has players from both DVSS at St. Anthony’s, they are playing at the 3A level. This means bigger schools and bigger competition.
Zones are on March 9 and 10 in Olds.
