Crusaders lone P.A. team off to Hoopla
The Carlton Crusaders senior girls basketball team will be the lone Prince Albert representatives at Hoopla 2017 high school basketball provincials this weekend in Regina.
The Crusaders were the only P.A. team to qualify through the 5A rural regionals, winning the tournament in Estevan this past weekend.
Crusaders head coach Jennifer Ferguson expected her team advance to Hoopla, but knows the provincial tournament is another ball of wax.
“This weekend, that’s a little bit different. We’re expecting to go down and compete but the results will be up in the air,” Ferguson said. “We could go and lose both our games, we could go and win our first two games. The competition is that tight. If we play our best, we’ll be in every game. If we don’t, we’ll get beat.”
