Greg Hess added 11, along with 9 boards, Glen Schuler 11, along with 8 boards, Dave Pruess 8, along with 5 boards, Wendell Cahoon 5, along with 5 boards and Dave Peterson 2, along with 3 boards. “I was pleased with our bench,” said Kodiaks coach Ben Brooks. “They never let down from the opening minutes. I saw 12 guys who really wanted to play basketball. We accomplished what we wanted to, and we’re ready for tonight.” The Kodiaks quickly led by 20 and extended their margin to 42-18 at the half.

        In the bronze medal match, the Red River Rebels defeated the Saskatchewan Technical Institute Beavers 65-52 as Kanu Emeruwa and Andy Maslowski each scored 18. Rowland Earr led the Beavers with 12.

The Falcons led 41-30 at the half and 65-42 with nine minutes to play before withstanding a late Kodiak rally. The Kodiaks saw three players foul out, two players with four fouls, while picking up two technicals. The Falcons hit 28-37 from the line, while the Kodiaks were 8-11. “We beat them from the floor,” Kodiak coach Ben Brooks said. “We outscored them by 14 points, 14 big points from the field. Losing the game at the foul line is tough in a close game, but losing as a result of such one – sided officiating is extremely disappointing.” Langara coach Duncan McCallum said “we wanted the win and we got it. It is a good feeling, especially after losing to the Kodiaks last year by one point in the final. The Kodiaks are a good ball club and the play of that little number four (John Jasiukiewicz) and number three (Wendell Cahoon) was outstanding.”

        The 4-West all-tournament team included: Greg Hess (Lethbridge); Dave Preuss (Lethbridge);
