The play of Tyson Young, a Grade 11 student, for us was awesome. Colin Boisjoli played some of the best ball of his year and our role kids just kept coming off the bench and getting things done. I thought our depth was the key to us winning.” Boisjoli added 22 points and Young 14. Barons coach Doug Kruk told the Beausejour Review that “we felt that we would pack it in and force them to shoot from the outside. What happened was that everything they put up went in. They shot somewhere around 70 per cent from the floor. We had a very good tournament but we could have played better but we’ll take nothing away from them. They are a great team.”
