Titans welcomed home as first boys provincial basketball champions
KAMLOOPS — The players walked through the hallways of South Kamloops Secondary School on Monday morning with their heads high, trophy in hands, and their ears ringing from all the cheers from their fellow students, who lined the hallways to welcome them back home after they became the first boys team in school history to win a provincial title.
“We’re just creating history. It’s great. We’re immortal,” said tournament MVP Nick Sarai, who had 28 points in the 74-66 win over Burnaby’s Byrne Creek.
It’s all the Titans really wanted after heartbreak in the 2017 final. It showed when the final buzzer hit zeros and the players swarmed centre court.. It was relief that they finished a job they came so close to in a six-point loss to Rick Hansen last season.
