Good teams like to play other good teams. When I started to ask people about this (tournament) at the provincials last year, people were signing up then.

Beau was the guy who stepped up in that game, and he had a stellar tournament.

It was depressing. We just came up against a team that was shooting the lights out. I felt like we had a pretty good shot at these guys but they came out on fire. Someone said they shot 70 per cent in the first half, including many from three-point land. It was their day. It sure wasn't ours.

He started at point guard for us at the beginning of the year and this is really the first tournament where he was at full strength. He also had some spectacular open-court steals in that middle game.
