The No. 1 ranked McMath Wildcats senior girls basketball team captured its third tournament of the season on the weekend — winning Seycove Secondary’s Welcome Back event in North Vancouver.
The Wildcats opened with an easy 101-31 win against Pott Meadows, then got a taste of a couple of higher ranked AA opponents en route to the title.
McMath outlasted No. 2 St. Thomas More 74-64 in the semi-finals, then cruised to a 71-47 victory over the No. 4 ranked hosts in Saturday’s championship game.
Guard Jessica Jones earned her third tournament MVP award of the season. Teammates Bobbi-Jo Colburn and Jessica Zawada were named to the five player all-star team.
The Wildcats have another big mid-season test in Coquitlam this week where they will participate in the annual Top 10 Tournament at Centennial Secondary School. A potential showdown with No. 2 ranked and defending B.C. champion Brookswood looms. McMath knocked off the Langley powerhouse last month at the Tsumura Invitational.
The Wildcats will open play Thursday morning against the MEI Eagles.
