Coast Hosted the Adult Midwest Conference
competition at Highland
Middle School, Highland, IL.
Ten Confluence athletes participated in the adult
Midwest Conference tournament hosted by Coast at Highland Middle
School. Players shown in the team picture above from left to right
include: Aleki Fualau, Tim Fornachon, Cameron Oestringer (Cameron
attends Highland Middle School), Irfet Omeragic, Alberto Friedmann,
Greg Grose, Colin DeWitt, Brent Bicket (player/coach), Chris DeWall
and Casey Gwaltney.
Coast played three games on Saturday. While we didn't win any
that day, Coast played better each game. In the third game Coast
played the perennial conference champs Kansas Wheelhawks dead even
through the first half. The Wheelhawks had just a bit too
much horsepower for Coast and they outplayed us the second half. On
Sunday, Coast defeated the Iowa Chairiots.
The Confluence is always working on recruiting
officials to become wheelchair certified. In the picture above, Brad
King gives feedback to three officials who got their first taste of
wheelchair basketball this weekend as Ken Church looks on.

the trip to Kansas City to compete in the first adult tournament of
the season. For Greg Grose and Erfit Omeragic, it was their first
basketball tournament and for 14 year old Cameron Oestringer, it was
his first adult tournament. Even though we lost all three games, the
team worked hard and showed great promise. Our next competition is
Saturday October 28th at Mizzou.
