For the first time, the Jr. Dinos are running a team through the fall season. Composed mainly of grade 9, 10, and 11 players, the team has come together quickly, and has posted strong results. Coached by Randy Peron, and Ian Ferguson, this young group won their first Fall League game against the Calgary Fury on Friday, September 15.

Despite playing against some older competition including former Jr. Dinos Mike Berlando and Mike Kutcherya, the Jr. Dinos were able to win the game 72-52. Kutcherya led the way for the Fury with 17 points and 9 rebounds, while Berlando added 15 points and 8 boards.

The Jr. Dinos, led by their all around attack, had 4 players in double figures. The team was led by the inside performance of Eric Bakker, Jesse Denscombe, and Cole Digel. Eric had 14 points and 10 rebounds, Cole added 9 points and 10 rebounds, while Jesse added 11 points and 4 boards. Other double digit scorers included Matt Urbanowski, who was the floor leader for the Dinos scoring 11 points, adding 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Brett Pekar also had a strong game adding 9 points for the Dinos.

The Jr. Dinos showed their overall team speed and rebounding holding the Fury to one shot and out most of the night, while pushing the pace to their advantage.

A great start for the team, the Jr. Dinos will next be in action on Wednesday September 20 against the Calgary Selects.
