"This win is a testament to the hard work, determination, and commitment this group of student-athletes have shown all season. Special congratulations to local Mill Bay athletes Ella Wenhardt on her MVP and Ruby McDougald on her all-star award. We are looking forward to hosting the provincials."
The top three teams all advance to the provincial finals which run Nov. 28-30 on Brentwood's campus.
