The girls at Fleetwood Park Secondary and Johnston Heights Secondary were dominant on the court last week, winning the Axe and Ladder championships at the 20th-annual Surrey Fire Fighters' Goodwill Sr. Girls Basketball Classic.
The Fleetwood Park Dragons took a commanding lead in the Axe Division final on Saturday, defeating the Semiahmoo Thunderbirds 68-45 and keeping the South Surrey school from a fourth-consecutive championship. The Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers placed third, edging out the Panorama Ridge Thunder 67-54.
Meanwhile in the Tier 2 Ladder Division final, the Johnston Heights Eagles extinguished the Fraser Heights Firehawks 65-54, with the bronze medal going to the Frank Hurt Hornets over the Princess Margaret Lions.
The finals were hosted at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary, with 20 teams from across the district competing throughout the week. The tournament is made possible thanks to the volunteer work of Surrey fire fighters.
The themes of the tournament include promoting volunteerism, diversity in the fire service and girls in sports. Additionally, in promoting goodwill, the Surrey Fire Fighters' Charitable Society offers several bursaries to students who demonstrate outstanding volunteer service in their community, with more than $70,000 awarded to date.
