NBA video for that cool song that Vincent liked

It's called "Live Forever" and it's sung by Drew Holcolm and the Neighbours. The video is pretty cool too. It's a bunch of footage from the NBA of "old" players from eras gone by playing with or against the "new" superstars of the NBA. 

Enjoy. 

Boys vs Grauer

A well-played low scoring game was won by the Thompson boys by the score of 27-11. Several nice baskets and a few almost fast-breaks. Play of the game was when Jeffrey cut backdoor and got wide open, but unfortunately never got the pass he was hoping for. Next time.

Boys Grade 7 vs Spul'u'kwuks

Today’s game was against Spul'ukwuks (Grade 7s only). We started the game off with a basket from Josh which got us all motivated, but Spul'ukwuks managed to get past our defenses and score a couple of baskets. Our next shift went really well with James scoring a couple of bank shots with the assistance of Vincent. Spul'ukwuks fouled our players six times leading to 6 foul shots, luckily we scored most of them.

During the second half Spul'ukwuks went aggressive and scored a bunch of baskets, however that still didn’t stop Vincent from rejecting his check’s shots over and over again and driving up for a layup.
Unfortunately, that was our last shift and the game ended 26-33 resulting into the boy’s first loss of the season.

Overall this game was a really good game. GO TIGERS!

Girls Basketball Game (Brighouse)

   Yesterday, the girls basketball team went to Brighouse for their third game. The Brighouse team was really rough, and they fouled Thompson a lot. There was a lot of pushing and shoving and everybody was tumbling and falling to the floor. I think the coach didn't call enough fouls on Brighouse and that was kind of unfair for our team. We did have some supportive friends come and watch the game and cheer us on though. All of the girls on the team were trying their very hardest and tried to be aggressive as well. We all saw that numbers 40 and 47 on the Brighouse team were really good. They dribbled very fast and were able to get to the net quickly. Every person on the team tried really hard to get baskets, but it was frustrating how Brighouse got away with so many fouls. Lots of girls, including me, got hurt. 
    We lost 22-6 and even though that is quite a bit, we know that we were trying our very hardest.


GO GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM!!! hopefully we will come back in our game with Grauer next Tuesday!!

Tigers Soar Above the Falcons

     The Tigers triumphed over the Ferris Falcons during the game on Wednesday. Thompson started the game off by shooting the first basket. Even though the opposing team was bigger than many of the Tigers and a bit faster than most, their skill and smarts got them the points. Everyone stayed on their checks and passed fairly well. They also got quite a lot of rebounds. In the second half, Anastasia outshined the rest. She wrestled for the ball like it was a suitcase with a million dollars inside (technically a suitcase wouldn’t be as bouncy) and drove it down the court so many times. At the end, Thompson beat Ferris 21-18. It was an amazing game.

Thompson Boys 48 vs Brighouse 41 (Wed. Feb.1)

Yesterday was the 2nd boys basketball game of the season in which the Bulls and Clippers played Brighouse.  We were slow to start and by halftime the score was 24 Brighouse to 10 Thompson  (of course my cheering squad and I did not give up hope and throughout the rest of the game we were chanting and yelling). Then in the second half we made a tremendous comeback and defeated Brighouse 48-41.
       I think that one of the best parts of the game was when Wilson made the very first screen and that set everyone else off making screens. Another great part was that we stole the ball and succeeded in scoring a few layups.
       Congratulations to you guys! great job!
