Playing Like the Pros at the ACC

3/28/2017

Greenwood’s D1B rivals, Royal St. George’s College, extended this special invitation to the school. Both teams made the most of the opportunity to play on the same court as the Toronto Raptors; coaches ensured that all players got in the game, and the boys tried moves and shots that they may not have attempted in a regular league game.

Grade 11 and 12 students were given the chance to make a $5 donation in exchange for the chance to attend the game and cheer on their classmates. These donations will be used to purchase sports equipment for Nelson Mandela Park Public School, one of Greenwood’s service learning partner schools. Three buses full of fans decked out in green and white made the trip to the ACC, and they made their (supportive!) voices heard throughout the game. We also had a number of Greenwood parents join us to cheer on the boys.

Above all, this game was a friendly match, and both Greenwood and RSGC clearly had a blast!
