OPEN GYM STARTS AGAIN - COMPETITIONS!!! - UPDATED SUNDAY, AUG. 19TH

PLEASE CHECK "OPEN GYM TIME" PAGE FOR OPEN GYM TIMES AND CHANGES. CHANGES CAN HAPPEN DAILY. TERRY MICHELES OPEN GYM TIMES ON MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY HAVE BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO POOR TURNOUT. I HAVE ADDED MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND FRIDAY OPEN GYM TIMES SO THAT OUR SR. PLAYERS CAN DO WEIGHTS. OTHER PLAYERS ARE WELCOME TO USE THE GYM FOR WORKOUTS.


I posted info on open gym time below this morning. We had five guys show up this morning. Alton, Noah and Evan did weights. Gr. 9's Rhys and Connor did a shooting workout.
GREAT SHOOTING COMPETITION!!! 3 pt competition ... can't miss two in-a-row.... miss one, then you get another shot ... hit it - keep going... miss two in-a-row... you're done. Last record two years ago (not sure if it has been broken) was 256 3's without missing two in-a-row. The record was, or is held by Buddy Heal (NBA player). Steph Currie hit 75 the first time he did it and Clay Thompson hit 144 the first time he did the competition. Vlad I. from TRU hit 56 3's before missing two in-a-row and Evan T. Smith had a record of 47 3's before missing 3 in-a-row ... until today! Today, Evan broke his own record and is challenging everyone to beat his new mark at 76 makes for 85 attempts. In front of three other players and his coach, Evan hit 76 3's before missing two in-a-row!!! That is awesome! He also hit 91 for 100 free throws... Let's break his records. Players must shoot in the presence of witnesses ... How many free throws can you hit in-a-row? And... How many 3's can you hit before missing two in-a-row? Compete and get your scores out!!! Jordie MacTavish had to make 100 free throws in-a-row before he would stop practicing. It drove Ms. Nau crazy because she was the one shagging balls for him. He would get to 99 in-a-row, miss 100, and start over again. However, she was glad to help him strive for his goals.... Other players in SA tried to make 100 FT's in-a-row ... they were unsuccessful. Can you match Jordie's mark?


After a great week of Camp at the Hoops Are Hot in the Shuswap... we will be opening the gym again. I am right now... as I type... at SAS (Sullivan). Guys are in the weight room and they will be working out in the gym. Smoke is so bad that as I look across the gym it looks like a hazy smoke has made its way into the gym. I hope reprieve is on its way. Gym is open today until 10:30 AM. If we can't go outside today or tomorrow, I might open the gym again. Stay tune!


REMINDER... Open gym is for players (boys and girls) going into grades 9 - 12; however, I don't mind younger players to attend as long as their skills are good and they can compete with the older players. I don't want anyone getting hurt. Cheers
