Port Moody secondary made good use of their home court advantage during the 2015 Port Moody Double Blue Holiday Classic basketball tournament last week.
The AAAA basketball club played their way to a silver-medal showing at the event, coming up just short of the top spot on the podium after a 72-52 loss to St. Thomas More in the championship final.
Port Moody was dominant in the early games of the tournament, besting Westview 66-36 in the opening match before following up with another 71-56 victory over North Surrey in the semifinal.
But the team struggled in the championship game, allowing St. Thomas More to open up a 36-20 lead at the half, a gap that the Tri-City club could not close in the final minutes of the game.
The team will continue with its exhibition season before regular season games get underway on Jan. 19.
Meanwhile, the Centennial Centaurs struggled at the Port Moody tournament.
After falling to St. Thomas More in the first game, the club put up a good fight against Richmond on the second day, but ended up losing 74-71.
A win over Westview secondary on the last day of the tournament kept the Centaurs from finishing in last place.
