Lion´s Den Basketball Showcase: Team Analysis

The Lion’s Den Basketball Showcase was held in Gyms 1&2 on December 18th 2017. We opened the doors at 12:10, and the admission fee was $0.50. We had some members of the King Safe Schools Council act as bodyguards to avoid the risk of people sneaking into our event without paying.

Participants who were waiting to play in the next game had to stand on the out of bounds line at all times to avoid confusion. The refs counted each team’s amount of wins which led to our final game.

The winner of the game won 20 timbits.
