The Lakeshore Foundation’s wheelchair rugby team, The Demolition, returned home from Las Vegas, Nevada, as runner-ups from the United States Wheelchair Rugby Association Western Sectionals.
Lakeshore started out strong with two commanding wins taking down Oscar Mike 49-35 and Grand Rapids 55-30. On day two of the tournament, Ability 360 wore down The Demolition in game three taking the win 54-35. Later in the day, Lakeshore bounced back in a tight game winning against High Five’s Storm 45-41. On day three, Lakeshore came from behind to take down perennial stronghold WASA delivering to them their only loss in the tournament with a score of 52-50. That win put Lakeshore in the championship game against Ability360 who remained undefeated for the tournament and the only team to beat Lakeshore. Ability360 won the championship game 52-42.
During the awards ceremony, Zion Redington received the MVP for the tournament chosen by the coaches of the eight teams in the tournament.
Zion Redington and Lakeshore Demolition will continue to train throughout the month of April, then travel to Rockford, Illinois on April 28 for the National Championships.
