Both teams started slow, but after several possessions Grant's Mike James got loose on a fast brake. James, a 6 foot 1 inch guard, threw down a powerful one-handed dunk that fired up his teammates and fans alike. Grant went on to win 60-47, setting the tone for what they hoped to be a special season.

Across the globe on March 29, from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. people turned their lights out as a statement and action promoting energy awareness and conservationism, hence the name Earth Hour.

So far this year, Grant has had a rocky start but overall has had a promising season and has high hopes of winning the district title for 2008.
