The basketball teams will play their final home games of their inaugural season this weekend at Immaculata Regional High School.

The Coyotes will take on Calgary鈥檚 St. Mary鈥檚 University on Friday night, with women鈥檚 game to tip off at 6 p.m. and the men鈥檚 at 8 p.m.

OC and St. Mary鈥檚 will meet again on Saturday at Immaculata, with games at 10 a.m. and noon.

The newly-formed OC program has proven to be very competitive on the court since its first games in the fall of 2017.

鈥淲e have had a fantastic first year of play,鈥� said Coyotes coach and program co-founder Dino Gini. 鈥淲e focused on creating an environment which allows each player to reach their potential. We are competitive and have a lot of hype around our program moving into the future.鈥�

Gini added that OC Basketball is self-funded and committed to building the Coyotes into one of the best and most recognized collegiate programs in the country.

鈥淥ur sponsors are our lifeline and we are so appreciative of their support,鈥� Gini said. We are hoping we can pack the gym and show off not only our teams, but our sponsors as well.

鈥淲e have worked hard to provide another opportunity for our youth to go to school and continue to play sports, as well as another opportunity to continue to promote Okanagan College in such a positive manner.鈥�
