Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships. ~ Michael Jordan

Competing at an 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.

Sportsmanship

The ASAA prides itself on promoting good sportsmanship, integrity, and good will within and between high schools participating in interschool athletics.

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 History: The Titans have had an interesting season. We started the year with only 7 players and had some strong showings early. With only 7 players, we knew we could run into trouble with injuries, and in early February we lost 2 players from our roster. One returned for the Zone weekend, and after pulling up another grade 9 player we were once again up to a “full” roster of 7. We are very excited to represent the South Zone at this year’s 1A Provincials, and are looking forward to a great weekend!

We went through season play with a 4-4 record in Edmonton Metro Division 3. A highlight for our boys would be getting the opportunity to play Eastglen who was ranked 3rd in 3A boys at the time. Teaching the 3rd place game at the Eastglen tournament was a good experience for us which taught us a lot. The boys are very excited to be participating in provincials this year as they grow in character, but also as basketball players. Coach Tyler Hoeksema Uniform Colors Blue/White City/Town Edmonton

Last season was supposed to be just that, my last. However, my returning players put a stop to that. Their dedication, passion, and love of the game proved to be common ground that was too much to walk away from. I want to thank this team for an unforgettable final ride. “Your team plays the right way” is the biggest compliment I have received as a coach, and the perfect words to describe this group. The guys have bought in and are playing their best basketball to date. The Grizz finished with a 19-5 record, winning 5 tournaments. They are an exciting team to watch led by our 6 returning players, all of whom provide very different and key aspects to our game. Rounding out the team are our 3 rookies that share our bond. Simply, ball is life. We are proud to reporesent the North Central Zone, and would like to that Livingstone for hosting provincials this year. Good luck and good sportsmanship to all teams.

Team History: This year has been very eventful. We have medaled in almost all our tournaments. Recently we have faced some adversity with two players going down to injury. As is our nature, we came together as a team and worked hard to win our zone down two integral parts to our team. We have played in some very close, hard-fought games against Le Crete and a 4A school in NPSS. We look forward to seeing everyone from last year, and hopefully meeting some new teams.

Team History: Our 2015/2016 season has landed us exactly where we expected to be this year after falling short in last year’s NE Zone final. This team has experienced many firsts this season, including having the privilege of raising their school’s very first 1A Zone championship banner. Although we lost two veteran players this year, we look to steadily improve on this experience with further hard work and determination.
