8TH ANNUAL HOOPFEST BC CROWNS NEW CHAMPS

On August 18/19th, the Langley Events Centre played host to the 8th Annual Hoopfest BC Tournament and saw two new champions crowned on Sunday afternoon.  On behalf of our partner Basketball BC, the Hoopfest BC organizers would like to extend a sincere thank you to all the teams, participants, fans, sponsors (Cactus Club, St. John’s Ambulance, Baden Canada, McDonald’s, Punum Designs, Steve Nash/Fitness World, Vancouver Giants, Good4U, Langley Times and Fastsigns), BCBOA officials, all the game scorekeepers and the Langley Events Centre for helping make another successful weekend of basketball!

WOMEN’S DIVISION

After confidently completing their round robin schedule with a 3-0 record, the Flaming Mama’s captured the inaugural Women’s division championship with a convincing 97-69 victory over CapQuest.  Falling behind 13-0 to start the game, the deficit continued to grow for CapQuest as they trailed 56-34 at the halftime break.  While they were able to put together a 13-5 run midway through the second half, the Mama’s proved to be too strong for anything that CapQuest had to offer as the eventual champions finished the game with a 12-7 victory.

MEN’S DIVISION:

After falling short of the mountaintop the last two years, the Runnin’ Rebels captured their second Hoopfest championship with a crowd pleasing, action packed last second victory over Athelite to close out the 8th Annual Hoopfest BC weekend.  With the Rebels already holding a OT victory over Athelite from the round robin schedule, redemption was certainly on the minds of the black (with orange and white) clad ballers.  Trading baskets for the first couple of minutes, Athelite broke open the lead in the first half to as many as ten points before the Rebels cut the lead in half 41-36 after the first twenty minutes.  Tying the game early in the second half, the Rebels once again found themselves trailing by as many as seven with under ten minutes remaining.  While Athelite put up points in the paint, the Rebels launched from beyond the three point line in order to once again close the difference and eventually take an 84-82 hard fought victory.
