Midget Girls Win Gold at Cats 2010 Tournament

Congratulations to our Captains(Maggie Walsh, Lindsay Kavanagh, Ally Lemenchick, Emily Whitton) who led our team to a very successful weekend ON and OFF the court. Off the court the team got to know each other better and a good bond has been established that will grow with our season. On the court, we accomplished many team and individual goals that helped us perform. In pool play we beat Cornwall 62-19 and Elgin 61-20. On Saturday night we played Gloucester in the quarter -final and totally controlled the game to a 55- 21 victory. The Semi-final game was against the host club, Kingston Cats. It was a physical game, our self-discipline and focus were tested. We prevailed with a 58-46 result. In the Final, we were up against a Brockville team that beat us the weekend before by 22 points. A close battle, with two teams that kept coming at each other. We won the game 43 - 38, in a hard fought, intense contest. Well deserved Ladies.

Special Volunteer Recognitions

The BGBA said good-bye to to some of their best and most trusted volunteers at the annual banquet on May 22, 2009.  The following people were recognized for their outstanding service for the past few years:

Susan Whitton - Registrar has been the BGBA registrar for the past three years and has truly put our registration processes where they need to be.  She has liaised with all of our coaches as well as Basketball Ontario in an effort to get things done correctly and on time.

Sandy Pearce - Recreation League Coordinator - coached in the BGBA for 4 years and then took on the role of Recreation League coordinator for the past two seasons.  He, too, took an unchartered role and made it his own.  From dealing with irate coaches, parents and other teams, he always kept his wits about him and made firm, fair and consistent decisions.

Dyann Bernard has served various roles for the past 10 years.  Her input, consistency and dedication to the board and your daughters is a true testament to her character as a person.

Deb Morris - President for the past 15 years.  In addition to her role in the BGBA as President, Treasurer, and web-master, Deb also served on the Basketball Ontario Board of Directors for 4 years, 2 years as Vice-President.  She was also chair and member of the Basketball Ontario Provincial Advisory Committee and has been instrumental facilitating and structuring the Eastern Ontario Basketball Association.
