Langley Christian Lightning’s Mark Antoniuk defends against Unity Christian Flames’ Mark VanWyk in the Fraser Valley Single A senior boys final at Trinity Western University. The Lightning won 58-46.
After a back-andforth first half, the Langley Christian Lightning turned up the defensive pressure to douse the Unity Christian Flames. The Lightning captured the Fraser Valley Single A senior boys basketball title with a 58-46 win on Saturday night at Trinity Western University. “We have a pretty good healthy rivalry and it lived up to its billing,� said Lightning coach Matt Van Muyen. “It was a battle out there.� “We did a good job on defence; I think that is where we won the game,� he added. “We worked extremely hard and were able to pull it out
in the end.� The Lightning were led by Jason Wright, the tournament’s most valuable player, and allstar Joel Kleingeltink. Wright was instrumental in b Despite having just three Grade 12s on the roster, winning the Fraser Valley banner was a realistic goal. “We are a good group,� Van Muyen said. “They are all very committed.� He described the Grade 11s as very athletic and competitive. Langley Christian defeated Maple Ridge Christian 63-33 in the quarter-finals and Credo Christian 69-38 in the semifinals. Langley Christian, who were fourth in the most recent provincial rankings,
and Unity Christian both advance to the Single A provincial championships. They will also be joined by St. John Brebeuf, which won the third place game 63-50 over
Credo Christian. Credo defeated B.C. Christian 64-57 in their first game, lost to Langley Christian in the semis and then beat Southpointe Academy 65-55.
