CALVARY TAKES 3RD IN MISSION PEAK  

BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT 

 

The Calvary Cougars Boys Basketball Season kicked off their season in the 27th annual Mission Peak Tournament held at Prince of Peace in Fremont. In the opening round Calvary faced Belle Vista of Tracy. With key scoring from Wesley Hendrix (10 points) and excellent defense from Jonathan Anene and younger players Joshua and Jacob Cruz, they proved too much for Belle Vista. Calvary's Robert Brue led the offense to an easy victory as he scored 16 points.

In round two Calvary played the School of the Deaf. The boys were minus starter Javier Putnam and were unable to overcome his absence as they fell short in their efforts to get back-to-back victories. The final was 44 to 28. However Calvary rebounded strong in the semi final game against league rival Redeemer. Again Brue led all scorers pouring in a game and season high 25 points. 8th grader Jacob Bass and 5th grader Aubrey Gibbs helped shore up the defense as Calvary came away with a victory which landed them a third place finish in the tournament.


Great Job, Cougars!
