I made the following statement in the House today recognizing the Junior High Grade 9 boys’ basketball team: I stand today to congratulate the Learys Brook Junior High Grade 9 boys’ basketball team on their outstanding performance at the 2014 Newfoundland and Labrador Winter Games. The Learys Brook Eagles represented St. Johns North at the Games. Their head coach was Physical Education teacher, Colleen Hogan, along with assistant coaches Scott Green and Shawn Gifford, and manager Theirry Landu. In an amazing show of sportsmanship in the last minute of a round-robin match, the Eagles noted an opposing player on the Host team who had not played before. They agreed the player should have a chance to score, and passed him the ball three times. He scored on the buzzer with everyone cheering loudly. A second highlight for the Eagles was winning the silver medal in the championship game. This is impressive since no player on the Eagles has played basketball longer than 3 years, and some have played only two years. I ask all hon. members to join me in recognizing the skill and sportsmanship of silver medalists from Learys Brook: Emanuel Ring, Felly Elonda, Joshua Coombs, Robert Wheaton, Kyle Williams, Jack Shea, Jordan Pitcher, Thomas Osmond, Jeremy Kakoko, Tyler Philpott, Mitchel Hand, and Noah Cumby
