Good luck Coach Melnik and the #HenryCarr boys! Get that chip! #Cdnballers

Thanks so much OnPoint! We are just getting on the I-79 towards Pittsburgh.

Coach Melnik

Okay coach! Safe travels to you and the boys! Happy Holidays!

I am disappointed at our result and our effort today, losing 54-39 to Urspring from Germany. Urspring is a very good team that played to their strengths and exposed our weaknesses. We will get a good night's rest and regroup for another battle tomorrow.

Great job by St Mikes today defeating Chamberlain! Best of luck tomorrow.

Coach Melnik

Sorry bout the tough loss coach Melnik! I'm sure you and the boyz will bounce back and get the W you need today! All the best!

Saw this on twitter:

"Tough 1st game. No legs, couldn't play. Won next game 80-58. Play @ 10:30 am."

Game 1: Urspring Germany 54, FHC 39

Dillon Brooks 13 points & 7 rebounds
Josh Bell 9 points
Tanveer Bhullar 8 points
William Maylor 7 points

Game 2: FHC 80, Martin Luther King Jr 58

Henry Carr Basketball

Congrats on the two wins Coach Melnik! Time to get the W tomorrow! Good luck.

Game 4: 6th Place

Science Hill (Tennessee) 84 - FHC 73

Dillon Brooks 23 points & 9 rebounds
Tanveer Bhullar 20 points & 7 rebounds

We led for a lot of the game, but committing 17 turnovers and 25 fouls was our downfall. Science Hill was in double bonus with 1 minute remaining on the 3rd quarter.

DISCIPLINE will be a key ingredient for us to learn and improve from this.

Wishing the basketball world a very Happy New Year from the Henry Carr Crusaders!

Coach Melnik

Congrats Henry Carr from a US guy. you always make a good showing down here. The German team won the tourney, so you can be proud. Good luck back in the GTA.
Terry Shenk the Hampton Crabber.

Thanks Terry!

Science Hill and especially Urspring were talented and well coached. Our goal is to use this eye-opener to improve. DISCIPLINE!

Best wishes,

Coach Melnk
