For the second year in a row, the Southridge Storm senior boys have placed sixth in the province at B.C. AA Basketball Championships.
Southridge opened the provincial tournament last week with a “disappointing” – the words of head coach Steve Anderson – 62-52 loss to Brentwood College, which immediately bounced the South Surrey squad into the consolation bracket of the 16-team tournament.
After the loss, however, the Storm reeled off three straight victories to finish sixth.
The first win came against Vancouver’s David Thompson Secondary, 77-42, and that was followed up by an 80-68 win over College Heights Secondary, of Prince George.
In the team’s final game of the season, the Storm edged Fraser Valley rivals G.W. Graham, 69-66, to finish sixth.
Southridge’s Jacob Andreou was named a second-team provincial all-star.
