16U Girls Purple Continue to be "Tops" in the Province
Paul Pavan’s 16U Purple team continues to frustrate their competitors earning another silver medal in the Tier 1 division. In the finals, a fatigued Predators team came up against their long standing rivals, Durham Attack and with 1 point needed to seal the match in game 2, were unable to finish. The ‘Attack’ were the victors recording scores of 20-25/26-24/15-7. Other match victories included wins versus Thunder, Storm, Titans and Mavericks. The girls will be in an enviable 2nd place ranking heading into provincials hoping to ‘peak’ at just the right time.
The previous weekend found the Predators competing in a 3 day tournament in Chicago against some very impressive teams from the Midwest. Paul felt that ‘This was a real eye-opener and learning experience f or the girls’. On day one, they faced one of the top ranked teams in the 32 team tournament. The speed and preciseness of the game was consistently delivered by their opponents (including some very TALL players), but once the Preds adjusted, they were able to take a few of the 3 out of 5 matches including winning their last match of the tournament against the host club ‘Sports Performance’.
The girls have now concluded their 16U OVA commitments until provincials and can be found in Hamilton March 6th for the next 17U OVA competition.
GO PREDS!!
