Another year high school basketball is over and the winners have been crowned

15 March 2015

THE last game of the night of the 2015 BC High School Boys “AAAA” Provincial Championships Tournament was one of the best games played at centre court in a long time. With no team holding a large lead at anytime, at the end it were the Yale Lions who were victorious, capturing the 2015 BC High School Basketball Boys “AAAA” Championships at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday night.

The game was what most wanted to see of a championship final; no one-sided affair. The lead was going back and forth and both teams hitting big shots when needed. Unfortunately for the Ravens many missed free throws were unable to stretch their lead. Thanks to more clutch buckets from the tournament MVP Bennett-Boire the Lions took down the Terry Fox Ravens 69-63.

Yale was not ranked in the pre-season rankings but proved their doubters wrong as the #5 seed in the tournament is now #1 in the province.

Lions’ guard Riley Braich along with Bennett-Boire were voted first team all-stars, as were Terry Fox’s Michael West and Jomari Reyes. (Pic 1)

FOR the first time in school history, the Fleetwood Park Dragons are the tops in BC. The Dragons knocked off the #1 seed, Sir Charles Tupper Tigers 73-65 to capture the 2015 Bc High School Basketball Boys “AAA” Championships at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday night. The game was a back-and-forth affair in the second half with neither team willing to give up until the bitter end when the Dragons put the game away with some clutch free-throw shooting. Fleetwood Park had never won a provincial basketball championship in their school history.

Emeka Okuma of Fleetwood Park was named the Tournament MVP
