Turnstone sports are in full action. Our teams are traveling, and we've been hosting teams from all over the nation. If you would like to get involved as a volunteer, athlete or sponsor contact Kevin Hughes at 260-969-7654 or [email protected] today.
Here's a quick breakdown of how our teams have started their season.
Wheelchair Basketball - Varsity Division, High School age
Turnstone/RHI wheelchair basketball team is off to a strong start as they're tied for #5 in the national standings with a 6-2 overall record. The games have been tight as Turnstone is only outscoring their opponents by 5.9 points per game. At their home Halloween tournament (October 29-30), Turnstone kept the crowd on the edge of their seat with an overtime buzzer-beater, 3-point basket from Kaiden Schaf over the Mad City Badgers from Madison, WI. The Badgers ended up beating us in the championship by 1 point on a shooting foul with 2 seconds left in the match.
Turnstone ended up defeating Rancho Halos from Los Angeles, CA, by 10 and 13 points. Turnstone also had a pair of victories over MFB Jr. Pacers from Grand Rapids with 16 and 12 points. The largest victory was a 21-point win over the Jr. Mustangs from Louisville while the largest defeat was by 17 from Mississippi Wheelcats.
During our home tournament, Kaiden Schaf was named 1st Team All-Tournament while Cole Connelley and Ashlyn Olnick earned 2nd Team All-Tournament.
Next Tournament: January 7-8 in Whitewater, WI (Northern Regional)
