Humboldt won over Wilkie 41-24 in the 7-8th place game, and Foam Lake won by four points over Meath Park in the consolation final.
Lake Lenore beat Middle Lake 65-56 in the third-place game, and it was Warman over Kenaston 49 to 39 in the Championship final.
This was the second consecutive Lake Lenore Invitational Tournament (LLIT) title for the Warman Wolverines.
"Congratulations to all teams and coaches for their excellent play, hard work, and sportsmanship," said Curtis Strueby, coach of the Lake Lenore Lancers and one of the tournament organizers.
This year's LLIT was a great weekend of basketball with extremely large crowds taking in the action all weekend, he reported.
It took the work of many officials, minor officials, staff, students, parents, and community members of Lake Lenore School and community to make it yet another top-notch event.
