Boy’s basketball teams from Edward Milne Community School served notice that they’re a force to be reckoned with this season.
Both senior and junior Wolverines clinched victories at the Wolverine Icebreaker tournaments, which took place at EMCS Dec. 1 and 2 and Dec. 8 and 9 respectively.
The senior Wolverines won all three games, defeating Mount Douglas Secondary School 72 - 66 in the eight-team tournament final.
The junior Wolverines took home the trophy with a three-game sweep as well, downing Highland Secondary School from Comox in the final 57 - 46.

“The senior boys are playing good team basketball and getting stronger every day,” said head coach Trevor Bligh.
Grade 10 student Malakai Hills, who checks in at 6-foot., 8-inches, doubled down by playing for the junior and senior teams.
“He was a dominant presence and was named MVP for the junior tournament,” Bligh said.
Waylon Johnson turned in a strong performance in the senior tournament, and was named first-team all star.
The junior boys record for the season is 5-1, while the senior boys stand at 6-3.
“Both teams are off to a great start, our best in five or six years,” Bligh said.
