It was an all Comox Valley final at the Area III junior girls basketball championships at Mark Isfeld gym last weekend.
G.P. Vanier Towhees handily defeated Brooks from Powell River to advance to the final while Mark Isfeld Ice ran past the Alberni Armada to claim a finals berth. The final was played Sunday to accommodate some players soccer commitments on Saturday, with the Ice coming away with a hard-fought 54-40 victory.
All players from both teams saw action in the game which saw Isfeld take an early lead and not relinquish it, leading 11-8 at the quarter, 27-18 at the half, and 49-31 after three quarters.
“Thanks to the scorekeepers and referees and supporters who came out to cheer on the girls,” a tourney spokesperson said.
Isfeld and Vanier both advance to the North Island championships at Kwalikum Secondary school next weekend as number one and two seeds. Joining them will be Alberni and Carihi from Campbell River as the third and fourth seeds from Area III.
