After leading the entire game, and playing some of the most inspired defense of the Spring, the Calgary Jr. Dinos lost on a buzzer beater to the Old Chargers, 67-66. With 15.7 seconds to go, Jamie McLoud of the Old Chargers, and starting point guard for the SAIT Trojans, drove from the left hand side to his right, pulled up on one foot and hit a running one hander from the free throw line against two defenders to give the Chargers the Victory.

The Jr. Dinos were unable to capitalize on key mistakes made by the Chargers down the stretch. In a terrible showing, the Chargers recieved 2 technical fouls in key moments of the game. However, the Dinos missed 5 free throws down the stretch that would have sealed the victory.

Outstanding games were had by Andrew Wytsma, David Ness, and Cam Perry.

The Dinos will experience their first action against U-17 opponents this weekend as they play in the Sheep River Shootout in Okotoks, AB. The Jr. Dinos play the Edmonton Grads at 5:30pm at Holy Trinity Academy on Friday June 3. Depending on a win or loss will decide the fate of the Dinos next game.

By finishing 6th in the Airdrie Spring League, the Jr. Dinos play at 7:15 on Monday, June 6 against the same Old Chargers to try to win their way to the League Semi-finals.

Next Weekend, the Jr. Dinos will be having a Spring Training Camp for both the U-15, and U-17 teams. The training camp will include, without schedule conflicts, Sport Psychology training by Dr. David Paskevich of the University of Calgary. These session will be team specific, and should help develop the players for the rest of the summer.
