The Similkameen Elementary Secondary School’s Junior girls are going to the Okanagan Valley Playoffs.
The Similkameen Junior Girls finished South Zone league play undefeated at 8-0.
With the number one seed in the zone, they hosted the league playoffs Wed. Feb. 5 and Fri. Feb. 7.
On Wednesday they played number four seed Summerland and won 60-22.
On Friday they played the winner of the number three seed Princess Margaret versus number two Penticton game, which was won Penticton.
They beat Penticton in the final 55-35.
This means the girls not only qualified for the valleys but will be seeded number one out of the south.
The team is led by the “Big Three”, Madison Terbasket, Reiley Terbasket and Azalya Klippenstein.
All three have been scouted by university coaches this year.
Taylor Thompson, Sara Vriends, Kisa Minshull, Jori Bishop, Madi Roberts and Sierra Yamamoto all give the team great playtime minutes.
Overall for the year, the team stands at 20-2.
Their coaches, Marshall Winser, Cole Marvin, and Celia Bush think they have a great chance to be the first Similkameen junior Girls team to go to provincials.
