McMath Wildcats’ senior girls basketball team has won the Richmond title and is once again heading to the South Fraser AAA Girls Zone Championships.
The girls swept aside MacNeill 88-55 to capture the Richmond championship at McMath secondary on Wednesday night.
The Wildcats are now preparing for the South Frasers next week, where they will play Burnsview next Wednesday Feb. 15 and then again on Thursday Feb 16.
The top two teams from this tournament qualify for the AAA Girls Provincial Championships at the Langley Events Centre on March 1-4, with the Wildcats currently the third-ranked AAA team in the province.
Coach Jamie Kippan said the team has a “legitimate chance” to win its second Provincial Championship in a row.
“We haven't had a really good atmosphere for a girls final in a while so it was great to see lots of people out to watch a well-played game by both teams,” said Kippan.
In last night’s game, McMath’s Marina Radocaj scored a game high 37 points, pulling down 22 rebounds, while teammates Caitlin Kippan and Aaria Johal each had 22 and 21 points respectively.
