The squad, which was ranked last in the 16-team tournament, went up against the No. 1 seed Kelowna Owls in the opening round, losing to the Okanagan club 90-55.

A 73-41 win over North Peace secondary on Friday was followed up by another loss on Saturday, this time a 58-37 showing against Sir Winston Churchill.
