In the final, the Glenwood Lakewood Academy Astras dusted the Port Hope Simpson Bayside Academy Tigers 55-35. “It’s our last year of high school, so we knew heading in that we wouldn’t get another chance to win a provincial championship,” guard Holly Wheaton told the Gander Beacon. “We wanted to win this one really, really bad. That was our goal this entire season, and we worked hard in practice. It was the only thing we wanted from the start.” Bethany Burge added that “our defense was like a school of fish, just so tight and quickly on top of the other players. This helped create a lot of our offensive chances and certainly helped us widen the score by not allowing the other team to get too many points.” Wheaton said “we just seemed to work together better and got along really well, no matter if we were playing or not. Volleyball has been rampant in our school the past few years, so it was good to finally win a basketball title again. … It was our school’s first since 2006. That feels really good to be able to do it our last year for sure.”
