The Mount Sentinel Wildcats tuned up for the BC High School Championships by capturing the Kootenay Single-A Boy’s crown recently in Sparwood.
The Wildcats ousted five other teams for the title, Fernie, Fernie Academy, Golden, Salmo and host Sparwood, defeating Fernie Secondary in the best-fo-five final 3-0.
The Kootenay Zone Championship caps a great season for Mt. Sentinel Boys.
After winning the 8-team Kootenay tournament at the start of their season, Mount Sentinel finished third at an 8 team tournament in Vernon, ninth at a 32 team tournament in Kelowna, fifth at a 28 team tournament in Kamloops and tenth at a 16 team tournament in Lake Country.
