Medical Lake boy's basketball receives surprise visit from 'Down Under'

One team's loss will be another's gain, particularly for the memories of the Medical Lake Cardinal boy's basketball team.

When a Greater Spokane League team had to suddenly cancel a game featuring the touring Tenison Woods Titans from South Australia last Saturday, Cardinals' head coach Noel Hachtel got wind of it.

It was accidental by nature, Hachtel said, "It was a great accident; the experience our boys are having, especially our seniors," he said. Not only did Medical Lake win the game 62-52 but they collected memories that will last a long time.
