“The team is excited for the challenge of provincials, and we are aiming for a strong finish,” said Barons coach Ky Desaulniers.
Both gyms at Lloydminster Comprehensive will feature action from the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association championship tournament, which runs Friday and Saturday, Nov. 14 and 15.
The opening ceremonies are set for 10:30 a.m. Friday, with games beginning at noon in both the Synergy gym and the LCHS gym, both located within the Lloyd Comp high school.
The Barons’ strong season has included a golden finish in their regional championship tournament just last weekend at Carlton in Prince Albert, during which LCHS topped teams from P.A., Warman, North Battleford and Martensville.
Along with their regional championship, the Barons have won tournaments in Prince Albert, North Battleford and their home event, the Barons Blast, in Lloydminster.
The runners-up in that Lloyd tourney, the Swift Current Ardens, are among the teams to watch this weekend.
“Swift Current won provincials last year and is a top contender again this season,” Desaulniers said. “There will also be strong teams from Saskatoon and Regina in attendance.”
Along with LCHS and Swift Current, the 10-team provincial field includes Yorkton Regional, Warman, Martensville, three Saskatoon schools (Centennial, Holy Cross and St. Joseph) and two from Regina (Campbell and Winston Knoll).
