Zodiacs, Thunder win zones

The Garden Valley Collegiate Zodiacs and the Morden Thunder are the boys and girls Zone 4 varsity champions, respectively. The Zodiacs (above) downed the W.C. Miller Aces 2-1 in the final game last Thursday to bring home the banner. GVC had knocked out the NPC Nighthawks 3-0 three nights before in the semi-final to advance. On the girl’s side, the Thunder also squared off against the Aces Oct. 2, winning the title 4-2. The earlier playoff rounds saw the Aces beat GVC 4-3 and the Thunder best NPC 4-1. The provincial championships taking place in Stonewall this weekend will see Morden and Altona (on a wildcard spot) compete on the girls side and GVC represent Winkler in the boys event.
