As the defending provincial AAAA champs, the Dakota Lancers’ varsity girls team held onto its title Monday night after a 67-43 victory at Investors Group Athletic Centre against the Garden City Gophers.

In the varsity boys game, the No. 2-seeded St. Paul’s Crusaders captured their second consecutive provincial title with an 86-74 triumph over the unbeaten and top-seeded Sturgeon Heights Huskies before a raucous gathering of about 2,500 fans at IGAC.

Photographer John Woods captured the action at the games.
