Although the Newfoundland Rogues play basketball professionally, they say they can learn a thing or two from the Sheshatshiu Eagles.
Members of the team took time away from St. John's during their all-star break to visit the Labrador community and train with the Eagles, Sheshatshiu Innu School's first ever basketball team. "They're working us pretty hard.
It's pretty tough, but it's very motivating that they thought about coming here and teaching us," Eagles player Shipek Andrew told CBC Radio during the camp. "And they want to teach us, too.
It's very exciting. Like, it makes me want to work harder … I'll remember this forever, for sure." The Eagles went through the first half of a full Rogues practice under head coach Jerry Williams, who said they did great work in drills like sprints, shooting and the three-man weave.
