The SHSS junior girls played some of their best basketball of the year at the West Kootenay championships last weekend in Castlegar as they made it all the way to the final.

The Bulldogs beat Rossland, for the first time this season, 30-28, and  Boundary Central (Midway) 44-43 in round-robin games before fallling to J.L. Crowe of Trail in the final 28-23.

Michelle Matson led SH with 10 points against Rossland. Matson also led the squad against Boundary with 19 points.

With five grade nines and one grade eight on the roster, the junior girls should be even stronger next season.

The SHSS junior boys picked up third in their West Kootenay Championship.
