Junior Basketball
Another great season was had by the Jr. Basketball team of Jarvis. After completing three mini
tournaments, we were placed in the B division! On April 11th we travelled to Dunnville Secondary to
battle for the banner. After a long day and some amazing memories, we came close but did not have
enough points to move into the finals. A big thank you goes out to all the parent drivers, coaching
students and staff but most of all to the players! Well done Jarvis. GO JETS GO!!!
Intermediate Boys’ Basketball
Congratulations to the Intermediate Boys’ Basketball team for winning the ‘B’ Division Championship
in March at Dunnville Secondary School. The boys went undefeated on the day! They defeated
Hagersville 23-13, Centennial 30-16, Anna Melick 30-18, Grandview 34-14, and Anna Melick 43-20
