1st/2nd, Game 12
Point Grey – Britannia
The grade 10 final ended up being a hard fought challenge for both teams. PG’s #21 Sophie Johnson came out gunning early hitting two key three pointers in the first quarter to get her team going. Sophie also made a few nice assists to her teammate #4 Sam Chisham. Both teams played an evenly matched first quarter which ended 10-10. Missed free throws plagued both teams in the first half, with PG and Britannia combining for a 0/10 stat from the line. The second half is where Britannia had a bit of foul trouble and started to show some fatigue. The aggressive two person immediate on-ball trap from PG in the full court started to cause a few turnovers, and PG stretched their lead to 14 in the third quarter. Starting the fourth quarter firing, Britannia’s #8 Jewel Leeson hit a number of key shots and helped get Britannia out of the full court pressure with ease. Britannia’s #12 Tiana Sacco showed pride in her game, causing a number of jump balls and encouraging her Bruins to fight for every loose ball. Despite a valiant effort to make a comeback, the PG Hounds came out on top winning the final 42-33.

The senior girls final of the vgba challenge proved to be a battle of two well-matched teams. Cool, calm and collected point guards showed their leadership on both sides.

Player of the game from the Ghosts was Maggie MacKay who had a strong game. The Britannia Bruins had a very solid effort from the game’s leading scorer Malena Mokhovikova, who added 8 blocks to the Bruins’ defensive presence. Player of the game Surprise Munie had an unreal defensive game, shutting down Byng’s top scorers and also adding 14 points to the game score. Congratulations to both teams.
