In the final, the top-seeded Raymond Comets dispatched the 2nd-seeded Magrath Pandas 80-75. Comets point guard Delaney Gibb told the Lethbridge Herald that “to be able to have this moment is super special and it’s one that I’ll never forget. … We focused lots on just holding them to low points and focusing on some of their key players and just working hard getting 50-50 balls.” Comets coach Alan Gibb said “they had an unbelievable season— undefeated here in Canada and one loss in the U.S. to a 6A team that could have won the 6A state championship. I’m just glad that I’m not the coach that ruined it for these girls. But I have to say Magrath, they did everything that they could to win a banner as well. I didn’t want to play Magrath in this final — this is the sixth time we’ve played them this year — and I don’t think you should have to beat a team six times to earn a banner and prove you’re the best team. But give credit to Magrath and to Brad Karren for putting a game plan together that really threw us for a loop and I’m just glad in the end our kids made the plays at the end of the game to win the game.” Comets assistant Aubrey Baines said “we’ve worked so hard and for our whole lives. This was the end goal and we made it. … We got down at one point in the game but we never stopped pushing, we never stopped playing our game. We kept telling each other just play our game and we’ll come out with the ‘W’ and that’s all we need to know.”
