What a game!

Getting better game by game, the Jr. Dinos defeated their Calgary Club Rival, the Jr. Trojans 69-68 in a classic game at Bert Church in Airdrie. A team that had clobbered the Jr. Dinos just 3 weeks earlier by 30 points, the Jr. Dinos rebounded and pulled out a squeaker down the stretch.

In crunch time, it was the play of Andrew Wytsma, Doron Nand, and Brennen Fule that keyed the victory. Trailing by 8 points with 1:44 to play, Andy grabbed an offensive rebound, made the put back plus the foul to bring the Dinos within 5. After a key defensive stop, Brennen Fule knocked down a deep three to pull the Dinos within two points. Finally, after an errant inbounds pass by the Trojans, 3 3-point field goal attempts and 3 offensive rebounds by the Dinos, Doron Nand calmly dropped a three-pointer from the left corner to put the Dinos up by 1 point. After another defensive stop, Doron was fouled, missed his free throw with 1.7 seconds left to seal the game for the Dinos.

The Jr. Dinos were lead once again by Brennen Fule who had 21 points on 5 3-point field goals. Logan Armstrong had his best game of the Spring for the Jr. Dinos recording 13 points, 11 rebounds, and playing great defense for the entire game.

The Jr. Dinos next game will be played against the Old Chargers, and will decide what spot they place to finish the regular season.
