The Crandall Chargers men’s basketball team finished the regular season as the top team in the Atlantic Collegiate Athletic Association.  Which has landed them as the #1 seed as they head into the provincial playoffs this weekend being held in Truro, Nova Scotia at the Dalhousie Agricultural Campus.

The Chargers topped the league compiling a record of 18 wins and 3 losses, and have earned a first round bye heading into the weekend.  The men will take the court in a semi final game on Saturday, March 1st at 6:00pm.  We hope to see some of the students and Crandall community out to support the men.  If they win that game, they will have qualified for Nationals and will compete for the league title on Sunday, March 2nd at 3:30pm.

The ACAA awards banquet will take place on Friday evening and the Chargers will have some players in the running for awards.  Last year Nathanael Fells was named a 2nd team all conference player, he will be looking to make it as a 1st team all conference player, in this year his final year.

You will be able to watch all playoff games live on www.ACAATV.ca, but hopefully we can rally the troops to support our Chargers in Truro!
