Senior Pacers battle through very tough weekend
Submitted by Coach Vernon Johnson, PCHS
Parkland's senior boys basketball team
travelled to Eastglen High School in Edmonton
recently. They played against Eastglen, Father
Mercredi, Edmonton Islamic Academy and
Beaverlodge.
Bryce Smith, Jaden McIntosh, Diego Espinosa,
Zubin Pahwa and Carter Fousert played hard and
fought through a very tough weekend. These are
the veterans on our team and although we had a
down weekend, they never stopped playing hard.
The whole team gave their best but these players
stood out.
We played in a very small gym all weekend
which never allowed us to fast break and run the
other team, which is a strength of ours. Although
we lost three close games it forced us to play a

at this). I believe this will make us better as a
team in the end.
Our next game is Friday against Bellerose in Parkland's senior boys basketball team travelled to Eastglen High School in Edmonton for some
Morinville. They are a 4A Division 2 team, so challenging matches. Senior Pacers Roster includes Noah Biehler, Diego Espinosa-Chambers, Carter
