In the final, the top-seeded Moose Jaw Central Cyclones dusted the 3rd-seeded Saskatoon Marion M. Graham Falcons 95-68 to capture their third consecutive provincial title. The Cyclones led 43-36 at the half. “We thought we had a pretty good chance going in and we played well, so there weren’t many issues,” said Central head coach Shaun Muchowski told Moose Jaw Today. “We really wanted to focus on defence and rebounding, and this weekend, we definitely played some really good defence and took care of the defensive rebounds for sure. And our offence was getting the job done, too, so we were clicking on all cylinders. … We took over in the second half. The guys just stepped it up, created turnovers and got easy baskets and easy lay-ups. … (Assistant coach) Chris Temple and I were looking back at the last two years, and this year was quite a bit harder,” Muchowski said. “We had to grind a lot more this year and really deal with adversity and not winning like we did last year. We started the season 0-4, where last year we lost only two games all season. So it was a little different for the guys, but it helped us grow and helped us learn and turned us into a pretty good basketball season by the end of the season.” Caleb Newkirk paced the Cyclones with 24.
