Filed under: — Matt Skinn @ 6:31 am

The Roswell Rayguns couldn’t miss on June 6 in the Airdrie Elite East Spring League Quarterfinal. In the #4 versus #5 match-up, the lower seeded Rayguns used hot shooting and hustle to get past the Jr. Dinos. Featuring Reed Sieminiuk, Doron Nand, and the outstanding play of guard Steve Trinidad, the Rayguns got past the Jr. Dinos 90-77. Steve Trinidad led all scorers with 33 points including 4 3-point field goals and numerous slashing drives. Down the stretch, the Rayguns simply out rebounced the Jr. Dinos to put the game away. Key free throws by Doron Nand and Trinidad iced the game to help the Rayguns advance to the Semi-finals.

The Jr. Dinos were led by the scoring of Tyler Fidler. Tyler scored 31 points on 12 of 18 shooting from the floor and grabbed 6 rebounds, 2 steals, and added one blocked shot. Forward Joey Theriault continued his strong play scoring 14 points while adding 7 rebounds. Trevor Debolt dished out a team high 6 assists for the Jr. Dinos.

The team has a little down time now after a busy spring to concentrate on school and exams. The Jr. Dinos next tournament is the Great Canadian Shootout in Edmonton running from June 30 - July 3. The Dinos will also play host to a few exhibition games to be played at the U of C. All upcoming games will be posted when available.
