Finalists, but not champions.

The Diamonds gave it their all, but only in the second half. They were unable to come back from a 24-point deficit, but at least they lost by less than 20. Here is a team photo. As you can see, the boys are not overjoyed about their silver medals. Still, it is a good result for a school that did not even have boys last year. The whole family will be heading to Calabogie this weekend for the second AISA school. Pat will be driving the Civic in the first SPC race at Sanair on Saturday. As the series uses short qualifying races, there will be six races in total for Pat... lucky guy!
