 December 13, 2009 - 3D athletes played a large part in the HSBC Basketball Classic this Saturday at UBC’s War Memorial Gym. Our U13 Elite Girls team battled with SBMC in the elementary finals in a match-up between the top two clubs in the province. Denelle Hauck helped pull the team out of a 9pt deficit to start the second half but SBMC’s sharp shooters knocked in key shots to win. The U13 Elite Girls currently have a record of 6-1 and will continue you their season playing in Washington State’s AAU league in 2010.READ MORE The High School Boys 3rd Place game pitted Burnaby South and Gleneagle in a match-up that led to a Burnaby South 80-69 victory. Four 3D athletes play for the Burnaby South Rebels with all of them playing key roles in their team’s success at the HSBC: Ater Degal, Jok Malek, Lazar Cuk, and Daniel Edwards. Degal was selected to the all-tournament team. The High School Girls Championship game showcased the dynamic duo of Diana Lee and Kristjana Young, both members of our 3D Elite program. The Handsworth duo led the team to a 74-42 victory over the Riverside Rapids; a repeat match-up of last year’s provincial championship game. Kristjana Young took over the game early (18pts, 15rb, 9ast, 6stl) while her Boise State bound partner, Diana Lee, controlled the backcourt (13pts, 4ast, 5stl, 39min). Both were selected to the all-tournament team with Young also being awarded the tournament’s “Most Complete Player”. Sam Williams and Jackson Forsythe, both members of the Vancouver College Fighting Irish, lost in the High School Boys Championship game to the #1 ranked White Rock Christian 63-55.
