Congratulations to Josh Sparkes at U15 Nationals
Three-year Rangers player Josh Sparkes (Medicine Hat Christian School 2011) was recently selected to the Alberta U15 provincial team. Josh was originally selected as an alternate but was able to get a chance to join the full squad due to a teammate's injury. Josh took the bull by the horns and capitalized on this fortunate chance to play at the Canadian National Championships in Toronto this August.
Josh started every game at Nationals and improved in each match. His best two games included a Pool B semi-final and the 5th/6th match. Josh lead Team Alberta to 5th during their 62-54 win over Team Saskatchewan. Josh had a tounament high 6 rebounds to go with his 4 assists and team leading 20 points.
Josh finished the tournament averaging 14.3 ppg, 3.3 rpg on 43.3% shooting from beyond the three-point line while playing 30 minutes per game.
Josh joins Medicine Hat High School this year and should be ready to make an impact in the tough South Zone 4A league.
