Breaker Classic Tournament Cancelled

Sorry everyone. We worked hard this year and that is no way to finish a season (without being able to play a tourney).

Hopefully we can get a few staff members to play with the girls team against the boys for a lunch time fun game in the next week or two. Stay tuned.

Mr. Rollins.

Girls Practice Friday Morning

We will update everyone once we know if the tournament will be happening. If it is on, then the girls will practice on Monday morning and the boys will practice after school on Monday.

Boys Practice Thursday March 29 @ 7:45

For grade 7's plus Rahul and Bryce.

Thanks everyone. See you in the morning.

No Practices Thursday, Friday morning

Thanks everyone.

Please spread the word if you can.

Mr. Rollins

Boys' vs McKay

Great game today as Thompson blew out the Mckay Mustangs 27-21 with some good drives by Tariq and Rahul and other great plays by Thompson. Some highlights include Marcus’s spectacular shot under the net (which did not count) and not to mention the opposing teams shoelaces which stopped the game for a bit, but that’s nothing a mom can’t fix. Thompson hustled and worked hard, leading to a good win and the end of our basketball regular season.

Thompson Girls vs Brighouse

In a well-played game (let's not discuss the refereeing-done by me) the girls' team lost 34-12. Excellent passing was the theme of the day. Baskets were scored by Anastasia (who also scored 2 free throws), Sydney and Nisha. Keep up the good work ladies! Next game Thursday against Mr. Out's old school (Ferris).

Burnett Breakers Classic Tournament information

Happening on Tuesday, March 6th and Wednesday, March 7th.

Boys Team:
We have had a couple of team meetings recently and discussed some options but since this is a grade 7 tournament we have decided to take all eligible grade 7's to play in this tournament. We will also be taking Bryce and Rahul to play. This means that we may have as many as 17 players. Apologies to those grade 6's who will get their chance next year. Playing time for the whole tournament will be equal, but it won't necessarily be equal in each individual game.

If any boys are unable to attend on either of these days (as we discussed) please tell me now.

Mr. Rollins

Welcome back Ms. Bahd

20 boys were ready to take on our "furthest" opponent yet as they had travelled over from McNeely School in east Richmond. It was well worth the wait as many of the McNeely boys showed great skills and adept shooting touch throughout the game. The defense was "resting" in this game as it quickly became a high scoring affair. The Tigers won't get a chance to avenge this loss, but everyone learned something in this game that was close until the end. Final score McNeely 40, Thompson 26.

Blair Scare

The girls played a hard fought game against Blair last night.  By the second half, the girls were able to tie the game, but were outworked by their competitors in the end losing 22-12.  The difficult conditions of the Blair gym (dusty floors and slippery basketball) might have played a factor, but a lack of communication also caused many poor passes and turnovers.  The girls are hopeful and excited to redeem themselves at the Breakers Tournament in a couple of weeks.  Only two more games left for the girls, both of which will be hosted here at Thompson.  Good luck girls!

Mr. Out Reporting

Thompson Grade 6 boys' vs. Splu’k’wuks

Today was the Tigers vs. Eagles. Thompson came up strong in the first half scoring 26 points! We got lots of fast breaks (thanks to our good defense) and we scored most of the fast breaks. Zack had his game high nine points, great job Zack! Bryce got lots of points in the paint and many assists and got some nice blocks. Kevin came up strong and got four points (on a couple of far out shots) and made some beautiful passes to Zack great job! We played good defense and completed our passes, Kyle almost got his first basket of the season, we played a great game today and got lots of points. The good thing was that we didn’t foul that much. The final score was 46-24. Great job boys!!! Keep up the awesome job boys and lets win some more games!!!!! Go Tigers!!!!!!!!

Boys win with Defence against McKay

A strong defensive effort Tuesday after school results in a 30-10 win for the boys. Robert played his first game of the season and Matthew P scored a few nice baskets in this one. The defence was strong all game, allowing only 4 baskets and a couple of free throws against us. Many coaches always say that you "get noticed" for your offence, but that defence "wins championships".

Girls claim close victory

On Thursday, February 16th, the girls faced Spul'U'Kwuks for the second time this season. Compared to the first time they faced this team, (which was also their first game of the season), the girls displayed more confidence, and demonstrated their improved defensive and passing skills. Winning by 2 points in an exciting first home game, the girls look forward to seeing Spul'U'Kwuks at the Breaker Classic.
