True to form, the Mount Douglas Rams kept their undefeated record intact on Friday afternoon, defeating the Reynolds Roadrunners 73-39 to claim the senior boys’ triple-A South Island basketball championship on home court.

“Reynolds held it tight in the first half and made some big shots,” Rams coach Chris Ball said. “We cleaned some things up defensively near the end of the first half and into the second.”

Harjot Gill led the Rams — who had gone through league play at 10-0 — with 21 points in the win.

The rejuvenated Vic High School team toppled Stelly’s 61-53 to grab the third spot available for the Island championship, slated for Feb. 25-27 at Nanaimo District.

In double-A boy’s play, the Lambrick Lions defeated the St. Michaels University School Blue Jags 50-39 in the South Island championship.

The Islands will be held Feb. 25-27 with Parkland joining the Blue Jags and Lambrick Park at SMUS, courtesy of a 68-53 win over Pacific Christian, which will play Glenlyon Norfolk School today for the fourth berth.

In senior girls’ play, the Oak Bay Breakers defeated G.P. Vanier 79-46 in the first semi-final of the triple-A Island championship at Claremont. The host Spartans defeated Dover Bay 67-50 in the other.

The final goes Saturday night at 6.
