We knew that if we could them into a half-court game, we could take them out of their element.” Tartans coach Bill Dietrich said “when you shoot 19% from the floor, unless you’re playing an elementary team, you’re not going to win. We normally shoot 37-40%. They just weren’t dropping. We’d have layups roll in and out. Then Aden Bowman would get the ball, move it around well and – gang – they’d get a basket. … they used their height to their advantage. We had trouble rebounding and had trouble defending against the bigger people.” Simpson said “everything was falling for me. I felt really confident about my shots. I think I rose to the occasion. I’ve been practicing my outside shots a lot.” Farmer said “the key to stopping Campbell wwas Deanna Shmyr. She’s the quarterback of the team and we slowed her down. If we shut her down, we shut Campbell down.” Farmer told the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix that the Aden Bowman boys title a night earlier “provided motivation … All year long, we’ve had trouble putting the knife in and twisting it. This time we did.” The Bears led 33-24 at the half. Deanne Shmyr led the Tartans with 16.
