Our guys keep rising to the challenge,” said Vanier coach Andy Hertzog. “Colson gave us a big boost in the second half when we needed it. Everybody picked it up a notch. … The nice thing about this team is that you never know who’s going to have a big game for us. Every game, it’s somebody different. We’ve got depth. You could see that our guys were playing for each other. They really wanted it. We’ve played Champlain in the last game of the season each of the past four years. Last year, we lost to them in the final. This year, it was nice to finally come out on top.” Champlain-St Lambert coach John Dangelas said his troops didn’t have the legs after playing three games in three days.
