Saturday, the Falcons met Mission’s Heritage Park secondary, where Erika Weber dropped 12 points and Reid added 10 of her own in a 33-18 win. Inderroop Randhawa was awarded player of the game for the Falcons.
Later in the day the Falcons clashed with DW Poppy of Langley, picking up a 41-34 victory.
Reid, again, was solid in the winning effort scoring 20 points and picking up player of the game, while Billyboy added seven.
The round-robin tournament featured four girls’ teams and four boys’ teams.
“We have travelled 2,078 kilometres this season so far so we have literally come a long way,” said Falcons’ co-coach Brigette Peel.
“The girls are really shaping up to finish the season strong.”
Coming up in two weeks the Falcons host their home tournament Feb. 14 and 15.
