Panthers coach Rick Scott told the Glenboro Gazette that the win was the product of discipline and hard work. Boissevain played without star Sheldon Dyck, who was injured. “I think our team was really disappointed that Sheldon was unable to play, however that really shouldn’t take any of their glory as they defeated Boissevain during every game this season. They entered the final game focussed; they knew what was required of them to win. Everyone had a job to do and they all did their part. I can’t think of much that would have stopped them.” The Panthers finished 30-2 on the campaign.
