Goderich Thunder electrify fans with victory over St. Marys
On Sunday March 1,2009 the Goder-
ich Thunder Basketball Team travelled
to St. Mary's for a noon tip off versus
the Schleprocks. The Thunder started
slowly but managed to gain some mo-
mentum late in the first half thanks to
some excellent rebounding by Robbie
Franken, Sara Macdonald, Austin Gar-
diner, and Ethan Milne. The visiting
Thunder went into the break trailing
only -13-12.
The second half saw some excellent
play at both ends of the court as leads
were exchanged several times. Riley
O'Keefe was dominant at both ends of
the court all afternoon providing energy
and some nice passing plays to smooth
playmaking guards Mitchell Clarke and
Connor Cox. For the Thunder, Quinn
Frayne played solid defence all after-
noon shutting down the St. Mary's of-
fence.
Late in the game with St. Mary's
pressing for another lead change, Jon-
athan Ridsdale made a nice defensive
play, and James Tigert made two key
baskets to help the Thunder leave the
Stone Town with a well deserved 26 -
23 victory.
