In the quarterfinals, the Truro Cobequid Educational Centre Cougars dispatched Halifax West x-x.
In the semis, the Truro Cobequid Educational Centre Cougars defeated Horton x-x.
In the other semi, the Windsor Regional Warlords defeated the West Kings Kings x-x in overtime. Phil Howlett of Kings writes that the Warlords prevailed “on a controversial technical foul call. The rules at the time stipulated the team that was BEHIND had to play defence and could not sit back in a zone. The score was tied and Windsor was holding the ball at half-court for the last shot, but an official (Wayne Shipley) called a technical and then overruled the other official and West Kings lost by one point after a made free throw with seconds left on the clock. I played for West Kings and that call was made more than 45 years ago – and it still hurts. Nar Zanolin, who would be the official’s convenor for the ‘76 Olympics in Montreal a few months later, went on to become the VP of FIBA Europe, and he still thinks the call was wrong.”
In the final, the Windsor Regional Warlords defeated the Truro Cobequid Educational Centre Cougars 60-47. The Warlords finished (45-2) on the season. Upshaw was selected to an All-Canadian high school team.
