The KVR Express rolled over the Summerland Wave to win the Okanagan middle school boys basketball league championship for the first time in three years.
The squad did qualify for the provincial finals, but unfortunately, cost and injury factors prevented them from attending the event held recently in Surrey.
In the league championship match the final score was 69-32.

Leading the charge on the court was Miles Kincade with 15 points, along with Mason Sherburne and Ollie Jacques who chipped in with 14 points each.
