U-17 Jr. Dinos Kick-off Airdrie Spring League with Win

Filed under: — Matt Skinn @ 1:08 pm

The Jr. Dinos started off their Spring League schedule once again at Bert Church in Airdrie in the Elite East League. After only 3 practices, the Dinos played the Falcons, a collection of former Foothills Composite Falcons High School players. Playing hard and determined, the Dinos used a run with just over 10 minutes to play to propel them to a 80-61 victory.

The Jr. Dinos were led by 2nd year U-17 starter and team co-Captain Sean McCormick of the 3A Provincial Champion Chestermere High School. Sean led the Dinos with 24 points including 3 three pointers and a foray of takes to the rim. Sean also contributed 7 rebounds to the cause. The other double digit scorer was 2nd year U-17 player Ryan Baker of Sir Winston Churchill with 10. The even scoring also saw Eric Bakker, Brett Pekar, and Kyle Wilson with 9 points a piece, while Brett Palmer did a great job of controlling the tempo in the Dinos transition and 1/2 court game. Dallin Bachynski was a monster on the glass ripping down 13 rebounds.

The Jr. Dinos next game is next Thursday April 24 against the Wildabeasts, a team featuring current Dinos recruit and Jr. Dino graduate Dominyc Coward, and a host of former Bert Church Chargers.
