A pair of U13 girls rep teams from the Richmond Youth Basketball League turned in strong showings at last weekend’s provincial club championships at the Langley Events Centre.
The tournament consisted of 17 teams from all across the Lower Mainalnd as well as entries from the Interior and Vancouver Island.
The Racoons took on many of the top teams in the province in the Gold Division and capped an outstanding weekend with a silver medal finish. Among the notable performances was a win over a very strong Tri-Cities club team.
The roster featured: Kate Carkner, Katie Chan, Amy Leung, Mackenzie Morton, Jaya Sidhu , Lauren Monteiro, Charlene Siy, Grace Wallace, Jasmine Leung and Mina Chong
The Cubs participated in the very competitive Silver Division and finished up strong in fourth place.
The team includes: Annalise Wong, Samantha Siy, Yogeet Nanda, Abby Bodden, Joy De Jesus, Shir Dayan, Jamie Grinder, Olivia Cowell, Dana Sander and Kaila Fong.
Coached by Tim Carkner, Paul Teodosio, and Dave Martin, these two RYBL teams once again showed that girls’ basketball in Richmond is going to be a force for years to come.
Next up for the Raccoons and Cubs is the Spring Tip Off Tournament May 2-3 at Simon Fraser University.
