YORKTON – The Junior NBA season came to an exciting close earlier this month, with 180 young athletes showcasing their skills in a competitive yet enjoyable tournament.
The girls’ division wrapped up on April 6, with approximately 60 players battling it out on the court, while the boys’ tournament concluded the previous weekend, featuring 120 participants. The games were held at St. Michael’s School, where these young athletes have spent part of the year sharpening their skills and finished the season with an enjoyable and competitive tournament.
Basketball continues to thrive in Yorkton, thanks to the dedication of organizers, athletes, parents, referees and coaches who make the program possible. Special recognition goes to Chad McDowell and his family for their contributions—not only as organizers but also as referees and coaches. Even the youngest member of the family joined in the action as a player.
As another successful season comes to an end, those interested in signing up their children for next year’s Junior NBA program are encouraged to stay tuned for upcoming announcements.
