Junior Highlights


The play was long and the athletes were getting fatigued toward the end but all played to the best of their abilities. Michael Romo was a last minute substitute for another player who was unable to attend. He had no opportunity to practice with the team before the event but well sharing both center and wing positions with Travis and help his team to win the Bronze.

Brent Warren is an athlete who represents the best of sportsmanship. He is recovering from an illness that left him visually and physically impaired. Over the last two years he has progressed from being in a wheelchair to walking with a support cane. He still has difficulty with some motor planning skills and transitioning from the floor to standing to throw the ball was not easy but he played as well as the rest of his team, blocking and throwing well to help his team in capturing the Silver medal.

Senior Highlights

The Gold Medal game ended in a tie and play continued into overtime. The winning goal scored in the second minute of overtime play. Although the Cheetahs placed third they should be very proud of their sportsmanship. Justin has a hearing impairment, Craig has autism, Ryan has a closed head injury from a car accident several years ago and Devin has limited mobility. They worked well as a team and encouraged eash other to play to the best of their abilities and supported each other in the best spirit of sportsmanship.
