The Lakeshore Catholic Gators were determined not to let a tough loss to the A.N. Myer Marauders define their experience at the 68th Annual Welland Tribune Basketball Tournament.
The Gators rebounded from a close loss to Myer in the opening round Wednesday to run off three straight wins, including a convincing 64-30 triumph over the Centennial Cougars to capture the consolation championship Saturday night at Notre Dame.
Lakeshore coach Shy McFarlane said the importance of turning the page was immediately addressed following the loss.
“That was the message in the locker room post game, we wanted to keep the guys’ heads up high and we wanted to let them know we are still playing for something,” McFarlane said. “We’re not on the side we believe we’re good enough to compete on, so we just wanted to make the most of it and not just play one more game and be done.”
