Basketball teams in the Wolf Creek league battled it out Friday, March 6 to Saturday, March 7 to take on winners in the CWAJHAA league from the week before.
Games were played both days at the Ponoka Secondary Campus gym with eight boys and eight girls teams, explained co-ordinator Adam Troitsky.
“The purpose of this tournament is to determine who the top team in the league was for boys and girls. The east schools never play the west schools during the regular season, so this is our playoff,” explained Troitsky, who doubles and the coach for the Mecca Glen girls.
Girls’ results:
Mecca Glen defeated Bluffton in the final and Rimbey defeated Father Lacombe in the bronze game.
Boys’ Results:
Father Lacombe defeated Lacombe Junior High in the final and Lacombe Christian defeated St. Augustine in the bronze game.
