Seventeen boys went to Whitehorse, Y.T., to play basketball last weekend against the Whitehorse Wolfpack. It was a great time, with the last game going into overtime. The Haines boys were trailing and tied the score at the buzzer, pushing the game into a five-minute overtime winning the game after an all-out effort by both teams.
That night we celebrated with a pizza party followed by a pool party at the Canada Games Center. Thank you to all the coaches, friends and family who helped make this a grand weekend for the boys. Thank you, coaches Kyle Fossman, Matt Davis and Tom Faverty; Haines School for letting us use the bus; parents and friends who made the trip to support the boys; and A & J Enterprises for helping clean the bus.
