Crusaders senior girls win silver, junior boys win bronze
Two John Paul II Crusaders basketball teams enjoyed successful weekends, with the senior girls team bringing home a silver medal and the junior boys bringing home a bronze this past weekend.
The senior girls fell in the finals of a Warman tournament to Wynyard by a 47-35 score, while the junior boys took down the Avalon Knights 50-48 in the bronze medal game of a tough Edmonton tournament.
The junior boys result was a big statement because the Big Dawg Classic featured premiere conference teams — the highest tier for school basketball in Edmonton —as well as tier-I conference teams.
The Avalon Knights that were beaten by the Crusaders in the third-place game play in the premiere conference.
