Basketball action kicked off this past weekend for the JV Girls and both SV teams of MBCI. The JV Girls were in Cranberry Portage on Friday and Saturday, taking part in the Frontier Collegiate JV Classic. Meanwhile, MBCI hosted several Manitoba and Saskatchewan schools last Friday and Saturday for the Bill McDonald Memorial Tournament.

All three MBCI teams advanced to the finals of their respective tournaments, but each came up just short. Both SV MBCI teams fell to R.D. Parker Collegiate in the boys’ and girls’ finals, while the JV Girls struggled against the Hapnot Kopper Kweens in their championship matchup.
