BCB Girls Basketball

The 2008 Bishops Barons invitational was a huge success on and off the court. Thanks to the players and parents, our annual fundraiser nearly doubled last years fundraising efforts. Thank you to all supporters for your time and donations.

The Gold Medal was awarded to the Gonzaga Vikings who went undefeated in tournament play. Our very own Sarah Hansford won the 3pt contest, shooting 8 for 15, while Lauren Hawkins of Holy Heart won the free-throw contest handidly shooting 14 for 15 free throws. Our most sportsmanlike player medal was awarded to Laura Crocker who played an excellent tournament until an accident in the 2nd quarter of the quarter final against St. Kevin's. Laura more than proved her love of basketball and her dedication to the team when telling the paramedics to get out of the way so she could see the scoreboard.

Game 1: St. Bon's

The Bishops Barons dominated St. Bon's most of the game but poor shooting and weak rebounding cost the Barons a disppointing 2pt loss in the tournament opener. Final score 53-51.

The Barons improved their foul shooting hitting 68% from the line but hit a season season low 27% from the field. A.Penney led the Barons with 16pts and 9 rebounds while L.Crocker added 10pts and A. Gough added 7pts and 7 steals.

Game 2: Clarenville
