The Thompson Tigers fell just short of a win in their first away game against Spul'u'kwuks on Tuesday night. The team travelled through the rain to compete in the game against the rival school.
In the first half of the game, the Tigers buckled under the pressure of their first time out and allowed 22 points by the Spul'u'kwuks Eagles. Anastasia G., Alexa T., and Klara M. all scored baskets in the first half of the game as many were trying to find their groove.
At the half time buzzer, Mr. Out sat the girls down and gave them a much needed pep talk. "Rebound, Rebound Rebound," was the new strategy for the second half, and boy did it pay off.
Spul'u'kwuks was held to only 2 baskets in the second half as the Tigers made their late game attack. Unfortunately, it was a little too late, and as the final buzzer rang out the Tigers were still down by 8 points. Great defending and sportsmanship were shown by all the players and Thompson Tiger fans, who showed up in droves to roar on their fellow classmates.
The girls' next opponent is against Ferris Elementary on February 1st, previous home of both Mr. Out and Mr. Rollins.
Let's go girls!!
