Vikings Senior Boys team ends season on a high note in Moose Jaw
One High School basketball team from North Battleford was happy to participate in the provincial basketball championships even though it was just for one game.
After HOOPLA was cancelled due to teacher sanctions, all teams who qualified were invited by the High Schools Athletics Association for a one-day tournament to wrap up the season.
One of those teams was the Senior Boys Vikings from North Battleford Comprehensive High School. Despite winning the regional tournament, the boys’ team had to play in the 5/6 consolation game which was won on a last-second three-pointer in overtime against Regina Campbell.
“The fact that we got to play another game was huge,” said coach Ryler Woiden. “They were just so pumped to get down there.”
