To think that four years ago we didn’t even make the playoffs and now to be standing here with a gold medal is pretty insane.” The Kermodes took an early 8 point lead but the Royals cut it to four before Quest took command in the second half. “We were still excited and just needed to refocus, Harpur said. “We took a couple of deep breaths, realized where we were and just kept playing.” Kermodes coach Dany Charlery said the team’s depth and chemistry proved the difference. “Everyone knows their role and everything we’ve done we’ve done together.
