No shocks as Wolves clinch title
Basketball team the Wolves roared to victory on Wednesday night to lift Appleby’s Under 19 League.
The defending champions faced a tough test again Grand Pavilion Shockwaves at the courts by Cox Lumber.
But thanks to a great team effort – enhanced by star performances from MVP Peter Grant – Wolves ran out victors by 67 points to 53.
It marked a fitting end to a great season for Grant who was not only named the MVP for the finals, but for the entire season.
There was also another solid performance from Philip Webb who picked up the prize for the most rebounds and an excellent defensive display by Ben Stoner who’s consistency throughout the season helped Wolves the prize.
Tomorrow night, after the girls final at UCCI, Wolves will be officially crowned champions during a presentation. There will also be awards for Webb and Grant.
League table official Angela O’Garro said Wolves deserved to pick up the crown after a season that has seen them lose only one game.
She added: “There has been much improvement over the season and the hard work and effort of everyone involved in the team has really paid off.
“After losing just one game in the regular season it is clear that they deserved to win the championship.”
