The Vaughan S.S. Basketball Program has entered the Sun Youth Tournament for 3 years in a row. The senior team have travelled to Montreal, Quebec to compete with Cegep College Teams, Prep Teams and American Prep Teams.
This year Lee Academy represented the USA.
This time, Vaughan played 3 Cegep College teams and one Prep Program from Kingston. Cegep "prep" colleges are grades 12, 13, 14.
2 links below tell you a little bit about the teams we battled against.
It was another great learning experience for the team on and off the court.
This tournament is directly supported and sponsored by the Sun Youth Food Bank. The team got the opportunity to experience the support of the disadvantaged in the area. On the court, they experienced FIBA rules, a shot clock, 3 ref teams, scouts, along with bigger, faster, experienced and disciplined teams.
Here are 2 links of MOMO and Champlain the teams that beat us.
