Livingstone School Presents The ASAA 1A BOYS Provincial Basketball Championship March 17 – 19, 2016 Good luck to all the teams! Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships. ~ Michael Jordan Competing at an Alberta Schools’ Athletic Association high school provincial championship is the culmination of years of practice, commitment and dedication on the part of student athletes and coaches. It is in recognition of these outstanding efforts that I welcome you to the 2015/2016 ASAA 1A Boys Basketball Provincial Championship, hosted by Livingstone High School. The significant volunteer time committed to this event by members of the local championship organizing committee will ensure that you are treated especially well this weekend. I wish to thank event chairs Duane DeCock and Paul Erickson for taking on the mammoth task of hosting. The efforts of Duane, Paul, the staff, students, parents and friends from the Lundbreck community should be recognized and I encourage athletes and coaches to take a few moments during the tournament to say thank you to your hosts. The ASAA is proud to be associated with student athletes and coaches, and we know that many of these individuals either are, or will be leaders in their schools and community. I challenge all athletes, coaches and spectators to promote the highest levels of ethics, integrity, sportsmanship and respect for others throughout this championship – both during competition and outside of the competitive arena. You are role models who we trust will celebrate your success with humility and defeat with grace. What a great opportunity you have to show everyone the positive correlation between school athletics and positive character development. I want to acknowledge and thank the ASAA’s Senior Partners: Alberta Milk and SUBWAY®, Major Partners: Morgex insurance and Coast Hotels & Resorts and our Suppliers, which are listed throughout this championship program, for their ongoing support of the ASAA and student athletes across the province. Their support of the ASAA enhances the provincial championship experience. Have a fantastic time at this championship; I trust you will take home memories that will last throughout your lifetime.

The ASAA, along with Livingstone School, also believes that all Coaches, Players and Spectators need to conduct themselves with class and promote positive sportsmanship. As per the Code of Ethics in the ASAA Handbook: D. Spectators: Spectators, both student and adult, must demonstrate courtesy and good sportsmanship by positive cheers of encouragement for their team, not against the opposing team. This is evidenced by the absence of booing and vulgarities. Spectators must also show proper acceptance of officials’ judgment. Artificial noisemakers are not permitted during provincial championship tournaments/events. These noisemakers may include but are not limited to: air horns, cow bells, plastic tube horns, garbage can lids, etc. The provincial championship host shall have the authority to eject from the competition facility individuals who, following a warning, refuse to comply with this requirement. Each player and team has worked extremely hard to get to this point in the season. Participating in a Provincial Tournament will be a highlight for all players and teams involved. Livingstone School asks that you remember that your admission to this event entitles you to enjoy an exhibition of skills, developed by student athletes in an educational setting. Please be respectful and encouraging in the following ways . Cheer for your team, not against your opponent. Respect the decisions of officials and coaches. Be a fan, not a fanatic Team Profiles Everybody on a championship team doesn’t get publicity, but everyone can say he’s a champion. ~Magic Johnson 11 Livingstone School # Player Position Height Grade 2 Justyn Connelly-Engel Forward 5’11 10 3 Chris Cail Guard 5’7 12 4 Levi Sekella Guard 5’10 10 5 Ross Cook Forward 5’11 12 6 Ethan Paridaen Forward 5’10 12 7 Brady Douglas Forward 6’0 11 8 Cole Schweb Guard 5’11 10 9 Quinlan Connelly-Engel Guard 5’11 10 10 Eric Cadonic Guard 6’1 12 11 Brandon Hilbert Forward 6’6 12 12 Jonathan Erickson Forward 6’6 11 23 Logan Kaack Forward 5’11 11 Team History: The Livingstone Sabres have had a good 2015-2016 season.
