Pinetree Timberwolves guard Paolo Donado gets a shot off ahead of South Delta shot guard Gavin Du in the first half of their opening round game at the first Pinetree Christmas Classic basketball tournament, last Monday at Coquitlam's Pinetree secondary school.
Duchess Park, from Prince George, defeated Riverside, 83-67, in last Tuesday’s final at Pinetree secondary school. Churchill finished third after they edged Pitt Meadows 77-75. The tournament’s first team all-stars included: Maban Teny, of Pinetree; Geoffrey Nonis, of Dr. Charles Best; Michael Wilkinson, of Riverside; Soren Erricson, of Duchess Park; and Giovanni Manu, of Pitt Meadows. Teny won the slam dunk contest and Pitt Meadows’ Conor Laverty was the champion of the three-point shooting competition.
