Manachaban girls hard work is paying off.

Muriel Clayton School in Airdrie will be hosting the Rocky View Tier 3 divisionals tonight where the Manachaban Warrior junior girls will be playing Langdon to decide who will play Springbank for first place.

Coach Dan Duval for Manachaban mentioned the girls had a great year and is pleased with all of the improvements he has seen with everyone.  Many of the players this year are involved in a variety of sports and has benefited the team.

"Most of our girls play a variety of sports and it is a great way to integrate their knowledge from whatever their background to this sport. They have had three practices a week since December and the dedication is great."

The fifth team competing tonight is Bearspaw.

The Manachaban Jr boys basketball team are headed to Airdrie tonight.
