We’ve had a couple of upsets. We were the number one seed in JV and lost in the final and last year we chocked in the semifinals so it felt good to win the finals this year. … I think we were just more motivated and it felt like as a team we had better chemistry and we could just roll through everybody. They had quite a few turnovers and I think we got inside their heads and they weren’t able to beat our press. We took advantage of those turnovers and had easy layups.”
The all-tournament team included MVP Keegan Beers (Niverville); Parker Davis (Niverville); Austin Anderson (Niverville); Kevin Dunn (Carman); Bryce Ducharme (Frontier); and Nathan Martens (MacGregor).
