The St. Thomas Aquinas Fighting Saints scored gold at the Grade 9 girls provincial basketball championships held last week in Vancouver to top off a perfect 31-0 season.

Jessica Clarke scored 23 points in a 55-30 final win over Kelowna’s KLO Middle School and was named tournament MVP, while Gemma Cutler and Caelan Prescott earned all-star status and Caleigh O'Flaherty was named an honourable mention all-star. STA’s undefeated season included five tournament wins, four of which came in events for Grade 10 teams, as well as North Shore and Vancouver and District titles.
