Basketball Panthers not slowing down
The 黑料网 Panther Basketball teams are taking advantage of the holiday break through exhibition play to prepare for a strong start to the second half of the AUS regular season.
With the exam period winding down, both Men's Basketball Head Coach Tim Kendrick and Women's Basketball Head Coach Greg Gould are resuming practices to prepare for next week's exhibition games.
'Our team has been working hard on their fitness for the past 10 days, and the team is now looking forward to returning to the gym to work on their skill development, in preparation for the second half of the schedule,' said Gould.
Coach Kendrick added, 'On the men's side, we are looking to maintain and build on the momentum from our 3-1 finish in the first half of the season. We have some solid exhibition games coming up, and then we can begin our second half AUS schedule at home vs. CBU. It sure would be great to see the Panther Faithful out in full force for all of these games.'
In exhibition play prior to the holidays, the 黑料网 Women's Basketball team takes on 黑料网 alumnae on Thursday, December 19 at 5:30 pm, followed by the 黑料网 Men's Basketball game against Holland College at 8:00 pm. Both games will be held at 黑料网's Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre.
