The Weyburn Comp Eagles junior boys basketball team won their home tournament over the weekend, winning all four games to claim first place.
They began the tournament against the Estevan Elecs on Thursday evening, and beat them 68-44 in the Cugnet Centre.
The Eagles defeated Yorkton Regional by a score of 86-51, Moose Jaw Peacock by a score of 85-50, and edged out Swift Current by a score of 73-72.
The Comp senior boys travelled to Melfort for a weekend tournament, and brought home the silver medal after advancing to the final.
The senior boys beat Humboldt 105-52, defeated Meadow Lake 98-63 and advanced to the final, where Weyburn lost to Moose Jaw Central 100-84.
The Comp Eagles senior girls took part in a tournament in Moose Jaw, and lost a tough first game against PA St Mary’s, 57-39.
“Although our defence was amazing, and we caused lots of turnovers with our press, we just could not score,” said coach Karly Johnson.
On the consolation side, the girls’ next opponent was Middle Lake. This game was back and forth, and even went into overtime. The Eagles finally turned it on, scoring eight points in the first minute of overtime, beating Middle Lake 60-52. On Saturday, the girls faced Humboldt, bringing another top-notch defensive win, defeating them by a score of 43-24. The last game of the night was the consolation final against Yorkton Regional. The Eagles won 53-37.
When the girls come back from first semester finals, they will be heading to Melfort for the weekend of Feb. 2-3, and then to North Battleford Feb. 9-10. The senior boys will be in Yorkton on Feb. 2-3, and both the junior girls and boys teams will be at a tournament in Moose Jaw, with the freshman boys heading to a tournament in St. Brieux.
