Ohio, Fox CT, and Last Home Tournament

Ohio Tournament

During the end of March, the Spokebenders took a 9 hour journey to Brunswick, OH to participate in the Cleveland Wheelchair Cavs weekend tournament.

The team played five games during the weekend facing of the Pittsburgh Wheelers, Moraine Minutemen, and the Cleveland Wheelchair Cavs. Most of the games were evenly matched throughout the weekend but the game that stood out the most was the last game of the tournament which pitted CT and Cleveland against each other for the second time.

After losing to Cleveland in the first game yesterday the Spokebenders were looking for payback in today's rematch. CT came in with a different game plan and led most of the game. Then with 28 seconds left Cleveland tied the game 34 - 34. The play was to have Kelly Lavoie take the last shot but she was double teamed. She made the pass to Carlos Quiles who was streaking down the middle who took the shot from the foul line, missed, caught his own rebound, and put it back up to make the winning shot! Eric Veilleux and Kelly Lavoie led as high scorers but it was the team effort as a whole that got us the win.

Spokebenders Take 3rd Place in the Bronx!

The Spokebenders traveled to the annual Matthew Sapolin Memorial Wheelchair Basketball Tournament this past weekend to face off against some of the top teams in the North East region.

After finishing Saturday with 2 wins and 1 loss the Spokebenders had advanced to the quarter final game on Sunday morning. Scheduled to play the Western NY Wheels, the Spokebenders got an automatic win since the Wheels never showed up and forfeited the game. Once in the semifinal game, the Spokebenders lost a tough game to the Celtics to finish 3rd.




A big congratulations goes out to Linas Pagano on winning the All Tournament Team Award!
