X-Falcons soar to Dolphin supremacy

Team Fusion win women's title in 'strongest ever' female section since tournament began

With top-class basketball, crowds and mostly sunshine, the 29th Dolphin Classic rarely fails to deliver - and the 2014 renewal was no exception.

The annual 4-on-4 tournament at Thompson Community Centre over the weekend saw the talented X-Falcons team win the men's title for the second year running and its fourth championship in the last five years.

They overpowered UVF (predominantly a University of Fraser Valley select) 54- 43 to clinch the men's prize on Sunday evening, with the X-Falcons' Josh Whyte picking up MVP as well.

In the women's section, which tournament co-organizer Bruce Watson said was the strongest ever, Team Fusion beat Pippen Aint Easy in the final, with Fusion's Kathy Germain the MVP.

In the slam-dunk contest, the reportedly peerless Kevin "KK" Kemp traveled up from Seattle to walk away with the entertainment prize.
