2008 National Junior Wheelchair 
Basketball Tournament
March 29-31, Seattle, WA.

Saturday, March 29
 
1:00 p.m. MN Royals 29 vs Seattle Jr Sonics 67
 
Not our best game
highlights: The Sonics scored 2 points for us! We got
confused during an attempted turnover and tried to
score on the wrong end. Luckily, we missed the shot.
The now confused Sonics took the ball to our end,
shot, and made the basket. Thanks, Sonics!
 
As tribute to the "missing" Tom (B), Tom (W) fouled
out of the game. "I just had to do it one time before
I graduated" he later confessed. Way to go, Wags!!!
 

5:00 p.m. MN Royals 49 vs Katies Komets 37
 
A good game. We won. What else is there to say?
