Basketball Wolves prepare for home weekend vs Concordia

Grande Praire, AB - The GPRC Wolves Basketball teams are preparing for their penultimate home weekend, as they host the Concordia Thunder (Edmonton), on Feb 5th and 6th.

The women's team, currently sitting in 4th, have clinched a playoff spot, but are hoping a strong finish can propel them up the standings before the end of the season. They will have their hands full as the Concordia team is ranked #10 in the country, and dismantled the Wolves twice before the Christmas break. Coach Dave Waknuk, who took over at Christmas, is quick to point out his squad is much improved, and looks to push Concordia this weekend.

The men's team at GPRC, is currently sitting in last place in the ACAC North. Coach Chris Nicol has been happy with the positive energy and committment to improving shown by his squad, and is looking for a big upset this weekend.

Wolves Athletics and the GPRC Students "We Care" Club are also partnering on Friday night to host 'Halftime for Haiti'. During halftime of the women's and men's game there will be a student vs staff game of "Bump" as well as a half-court shootout for prizes. All proceeds will be going to the Haiti Relief Fund.

Women kick things off on Friday at 6:00 PM, with the men at 8:00PM. Saturday game times are 1:00 and 3:00.
