Epic Robbie

Here is our very own Robbie wearing his new epic gear! I am sure he will be ready to battle in our next game. The epic Ram helmet gives him a bonus to decision making and the epic chest piece gives him bonus to defense. The facial hair has no added bonus, except for pwnin noobs.

Super Hoops Game 1 vs FH

PC 62 - FH 59

Our first Super Hoops game of the season was a seesaw battle with FH. Each team took the lead more than once during the game but PC ended up victorious in the end. This was a game of hot and cold playing by both teams and points were scored in bunches. We had a couple of really great sections in the game where we were really pushing the pace and had FH on their heels. In the end we lost a commanding lead somehow and we were facing a 1 point game with seconds to play. At the final buzzer we were up by 3 and walked out with our 2nd win of the year.

Road to the Gold - Game 4

PC 82 - FH 69

Our first victory of the year! This was our best game of the tournament and we were in control from the opening tip off. Everyone played great and the whole bench got lots of playtime. We controlled the pace of the game and dictated the play. There are still a lot of things to work on but as a whole the team is responding to coaches feedback and executing as best they can.

Road to the Gold - Game 3

AWG 66 - PC 33

This was a much better game for us although the score doesn't show it. As a team we played much more in system and moved the ball around quite well. Other than one 2 minute period our turnovers were much lower than the previous game. We kept the game pretty close in the first half and the AWG team pulled away in the second. Once again shooting percentages are higher and the missed shots taken looked good till they hit the rim. Quote of the game"Go get some food, fluid and some therapy guys." - Logan Wedge.

Road to the Gold - Game 2

NWT 79 - PC 55

Can you say "turnover"? We didn't play a very good first half but after a very motivating "speech" by coach Tony we had a much better second half. The NWT team played a very similar defense to us and it was challenging to say the least. As a team our shooting percentage is improving in all areas.

Road to the Gold - Game 1

Vanier 57 - PC 55

Our first game of the year was a back and forth battle between us and Vanier. We ended up losing by 2 points in a nail biter. The game score ended up 57-55 Vanier. The Rams shooting wasn't up to par today and the stats show it. We played some great Defense but our finish just wasn't there this morning.

During our weekend practice I was able to take about 350 random pictures. I put a slideshow onto the blog that cycles through some of them randomly. If you want to see more photos click on the slideshow to the right or come to Mr. Kelly's lab and check them out.

First Practice 2009/2010

The 2009/2010 PCSS RAMS basketball season started off with a great practice. We had some new faces today and a lot of returning players and coaches. This season is a very early start and having practices in November is very rare. Having an early start should be great for the team.

Over 18 boys came to the first day of try outs.
