With a fifth-place finish at the Island championship, the junior girls basketball squad earned team-of-the-year honours at Highland Secondary.

Contested at Belmont Secondary in Langford in February, the Raiders lost their opening game to South Island top seed Pacific Christian School, rebounded with a win over Vanier, then lost a close one to Alberni. The fifth-place finish was one of the best results for girls basketball in Highland’s history.

Highland’s athlete-of-the-year winners are as follows:

Grade 8: MacKenzie Stevens and Christopher Parkinson

Grade 9: Emma Warren and Brad Coltart

Grade 10: Annaka Berg, Abby Duncan, Owen Chatterson and Killian Allard

Grade 11: Luke Yeo, Shayne Braidwood and Lea Waeber

Grade 12: Kylea Knubley
