Major Atom Wildcats Win Silver at Blessed Sacrament Tournament

The Chatham-Kent Wildcats Major Atom girls travelled to the annual Blessed Sacrament tournament over the weekend, taking home a silver medal after losing to another local team, the Wallaceburg AirHawks in the gold medal game. Overall the Major Atom Wildcats Girls basketball team played excellent team basketball for all 5 games. The Major Atom Girls did a great job being unselfish by sharing the basketball and they played strong defensively which lead to many scoring opportunities.  Coach Tracey Goosney, Scott Barko, and Selwyn Jordan were extremely proud of how the team pulled together this weekend.
