Crusaders junior boys win Battle West districts on home court
For the third time in the last five seasons, the John Paul II Crusaders junior boys basketball team can call themselves Battle West district champions.
They wrapped up their season by defeating the North Battleford Comprehensive High School Vikings 49-20 in the district final this past Saturday on their home court.
“We’ve had some very passionate and skilled players come through our team and our system,” Crusaders head coach Nate Jurgens said. “Winning your last game on the home floor in front of your fans, I think for them that kind of just gives you a little bit of closure on the season, but also motivates them to try to do it again next year.”
Jurgens said depth was a huge key, not just on the weekend, but all season long.
