The score was only 30-27 in the third quarter, but Graham scored the next 21 unanswered points. “The more we missed, the worse it got,” said Gage.

In the last quarterfinal, the top-seeded Richmond R.C. Palmer Griffins dumped the 8th-seeded Kamloops Sa-Hali Sabres 79-64. Sa-Hali led 23-20 after one quarter.

Sargent dished 7 assists. The Griffins dominated the third-quarter to take charge and maintain their high seeding. Early in the second quarter when forward Ian Smith and guard Timo Sargent, two of Sa-Hali’s top players, got into foul trouble. The Sabres never recovered and, by the middle of the third quarter, Palmer had essentially booked its ticket to the semifinals. “(Sargent and Smith) are our key players and having them off the court is a big loss, defensively and offensively,” said Sabres coach Paul Patterson. “That definitely was one of the turning points.” The Sabres had a major size advantage over the Griffins, with five players taller than the tallest Palmer player. But Sa-Hali had trouble keeping up with the speed of the Griffins, especially point guard Billy Cheng. Cheng pushed the floor so well the Griffins had plenty of open looks. “We’re an extremely quick team,” said Griffins head coach Paul Eberhardt. “We’re not super big, so when we play most teams, we have to out-quick them. Sometimes it helps us draw fouls.”
In the semis, the 2nd-seeded Vancouver Brittania Bruins crushed the Chilliwack G.W. Graham Grizzlies 70-52. Semir Ibrahim paced Brittania with 28 on 1-22 from the floor, 4-12 from the arc, 11 boards and 3 steals. Wayne Hoang added 15 on 5-12 from the floor, 3-6 from the arc, 2-4 from the line and 4 boards.

In the other semi, the top-seeded Richmond R.C. Palmer Griffins defeated the 13th-seeded Vernon Clarence F. Fulton Maroons 96-86. The Griffins pulled away in the fourth-quarter, driven by lightning quick inside penetration and the ability to clear many of the offensive boards. The knife-like drive-feeds of guard Billy Cheng, and the near flawless finish inside by fast-moving Vijay Dhillon and Ranjodh Hare proved decisive. The Maroons were pressured on their efforts to penetrate down the stretch and depended to heavily as such on perimeter shots which ran hot and cold. Vijay Dhillon paced R.C. Palmer with 27 on 12-25 from the floor, 2-6 from the arc, 1-1 from the line, 5 boards and 3 assists. Billy Cheng added 26 on 8-19 from the floor, 4-8 from the arc, 6-7 from the line, 3 boards, 3 assists and 6 steals. Ranjodh Hare added 19 on 8-12 from the floor, 3-12 from the line and 15 boards.

The Griffins hit 38-80 (.475) from the floor, 7-20 (.350) from the arc and 13-24 (.542) from the line, while garnering 35 boards, including 15 on the offensive glass, 9 fouls, 7 assists, 12 turnovers and 9 steals.

Manbir Deol added 8 on 4-5 from the floor and 4 boards. Dalton Anderson scored 8 on 3-3 from the floor, 2-2 from the line, 4 boards and 2 assists. Greg Hyde added 4 on 2-4 from the floor, 5 boards and 2 blocks. Deepk Bagha added 2, while Mitchell Rouault and Gurbinder Randhawa were scoreless. The Maroons hit 33-65 (.508) from the floor, 8-21 (.381) from the arc and 12-13 (.923) from the line, while garnering 34 boards, including 9 on the offensive glass, 21 fouls, 7 assists, 17 turnovers, 2 blocks and 5 steals. Leading late in the game, the Maroons lost their legs and missed a few wide-open layups, allowing the Griffins to surge ahead. “We played very well and, in the end, we just ran out of gas,” said Fulton coach Dale Olson. “We fought back, but we just couldn’t get it into that four-point range. We’re really proud of the boys, they’ve been competing hard all week. We had a ton of confidence and that carried us a long way. We are ecstatic about being in the top-four. We came in 13th and now have upset the No. 5 and the No. 3 teams in the province.”
In the bronze medal match, the 13th-seeded Vernon Clarence Fulton Maroons edged the Chilliwack G.W. Graham Grizzlies 83-75 as Dallas Pepper scored 29 on 8-17 from the floor, 4-11 from the arc, 9-10 from the line and 4 boards. Greg Hyde added 25 on 9-12 from the floor, 7-12 from the line and 15 boards. Brett Rouault added 20 on 7-21 from the floor, 0-7 from the arc, 6-10 from the line, 7 boards, 2 assists and 3 blocks.

The Grizzlies hit 27-62 (.435) from the floor, 8-21 (.381) from the arc and 13-22 (.591) from the line, while garnering 34 boards, including 8 on the offensive glass, 25 fouls, 9 assists, 20 turnovers, 3 blocks and 4 steals. Fulton trailed 57-53 entering the fourth-quarter, but outscored the Chilliwack squad 30-18 in the final quarter. The fourth-quarter dynamics were paced by senior guard Dallas Pepper, 6’4” Greg Hyde and co-captain Brett Roualt, who between them had all 30 points. “This is a great achievement for us. We battled hard all week, and got a great final spot,” said Fulton coach Dale Olson. The Maroons got off to a dismal start, scoring just seven points in the second quarter and shooting just 30 per cent in the half. Game MVP Greg Hyde supplied six of Fulton’s 10 field goal in the half, as the Maroons limped into the break trailing 42-27. The second half was a different story, with Fulton draining 23 points in the third quarter, cutting the lead to seven. “We could taste blood and stopped them in the fourth, outscoring them 33-18, hitting 9-11 shots and 12-20 free throws. This was our highest single quarter score this season, and was a fitting way to end it,” said Olson.
In the final, the 2nd-seeded Vancouver Brittania Bruins crushed the top-seeded Richmond R.C. Palmer Griffins 65-48 as Osaro Obaseki scored 17 on 7-10 from the floor, 3-10 from the line, 11 boards and 8 blocks. Wayne Hoang added 14 on 4-10 from the floor, 3-7 from the arc, 3-4 from the line, 5 boards and 2 steals. William Ramirez added 13 on 6-8 from the floor, 1-2 from the line and 6 boards. Semir Ibrahim scored 13 on 5-15 from the floor, 0-5 from the arc, 2-4 from the line, 13 boards, 4 assists and 4 steals. Gerardo Gonzalez-Pal added 9 on 3-6 from the floor, 3-3 from the arc and 3 boards. Eric Vuong, Xin Ma and Ibrahim Ibrahim were scoreless. The Bruins hit 25-54 (.463) from the floor, 6-18 (.333) from the arc and 9-20 (.450) from the line, while garnering 47 boards, including 14 on the offensive glass, 18 fouls, 9 assists, 25 turnovers, 10 blocks and 8 steals. Ranjodh Hare paced R.C. Palmer with 19 on 8-17 from the floor, 1-1 from the arc, 2-5 from the line and 12 boards. Mike Zayas added 11 on 5-15 from the floor, 0-3 from the arc, 1-3 from the line and 4 boards. Maziar Arjmandi added 11 on 4-13 from the floor, 1-4 from the arc, 2-3 from the line and 2 blocks. Devan Kandola notched 3 on 1-1 from the arc. Vijay Dhillon added 2 on 1-8 from the floor and 5 boards. Billy Cheng scored 4 on 0-8 from the floor, 2-4 from the line, 4 boards and 3 steals. Jujhar Bath, Joey Dhillon, Tyler Debeer and Jamie Madewan were scoreless. The Griffins hit 19-70 (.271) from the floor, 3-20 (.150) from the arc and 7-15 (.467) from the line, while garnering 39 boards, including 20 on the offensive glass, 17 fouls, 8 assists, 18 turnovers, 2 blocks and 6 steals. Revenge is sweet. The underdog Brittania Bruins had lost 103-78 to R.C. Palmer in zone playoffs, but at crunch-time it was the Bruins crowned as B.C. champs and they did it in the same convincing fashion that the Griffins had done it to them. The two Vancouver area schools played to a near packed house at Thompson Rivers University. The Bruins broke the back of their opponents by racing to a 27-11 lead at the quarter, behind a three-point barrage that saw five treys, three by Brittania captain senior guard Wayne Hoang with 11 points in the quarter. Gerard Ogonzales notched three early treys to also help spark the fast start. Tournament MVP Semir Ibrahim a six-foot senior, also played a factor. The Griffins never got their potent lightning quick offence on track, with point-guard Billy Cheng limited to five points. The provincial win for Brittania was the second ever for the Britannia boys, who also were the 2008 champs. Besides Semir Ibrahim, all-star selections from the tourney final, included Osaro Obaseki from Brittania and Palmer guard Billy Cheng. Rounding out the first all-star team were Fulton’s Brett Roualt and G.W. Graham star Micah Cockrill. The top defensive player in the tourney went to Adrian Robinson of Prince Rupert. Griffins coach Paul Eberhardt said his troops couldn’t find the bucket. “It’s certainly the lowest point total in my time at Palmer, and probably the lowest I’ve ever been part of as a senior coach.” Eberhardt said he feared his players weren’t ready in the warm-up. “You could just tell by the look on their faces. I commented to (associate coach) Ryan (Strachan): ‘We don’t seem to have it.’” But the Bruins deserve some credit too, said Eberhardt. “They’re a very good team,” he said of Britannia, which lost the 2009 provincial final to South Okanagan of Oliver. Eberhardt expected the Griffins, which have generally done well in big games, to rally in the second half. Instead, it was the Bruins that showed the confidence. “We shot only 22 per cent for the game,” Eberhardt said. “As I said to the guys after the game, if this had been mid-season we would have taken the scoresheet and burned it. … I don’t know what it is and the guys don’t either. But I know I never felt worse coming in second place. Even if we had lost but competed, you can kind of accept that because you don’t have all those ‘what if’ questions.” Bruins coach Jesse Brown said “0ur guys knew that they had a lot of work to do, and they clamped down on defence. Our defence is what got us here and it’s the reason we won.” Wayne Hoang had a feeling he might make some noise in the final. “Today, I woke up and I started to visualize,” said Hoang, who has lost about 65 pounds in the last 18 months. “I visualized me shooting a whole bunch of threes — I guess it worked.” Brown said Obaseki “came up huge. This has been a great rivalry, Palmer and us.”
