The Elm Creek Cobras varsity girls basketball team is headed to the Manitoba High School Athletic Association provincial championships after winning their qualifying round on March 8.
During the ‘A’ Provincial Qualifier Round held in Hamiota, the Elm Creek squad went undefeated, securing their spot at the provincials with a decisive 89-10 victory over the Strathclair Skyhawks and a 69-27 win against the Fisher Branch Cougars.
“The girls couldn’t be more deserving as they have been hard working and resilient right from the get-go,” said Elm Creek Cobras assistant coach Maddi Fraser.
The Cobras are set to compete at the Manitoba High School Provincial ‘A’ Basketball Championships in Rivers from March 20 to 22. The single-elimination bracket, which includes a consolation round, will kick off on March 20 at 6 p.m. when Elm Creek faces the Ross L Gray Raiders.
“Although we have struggled with numbers and some injuries, the girls are ready to give it their all next weekend and stir some things up,” said Fraser. “It’s been a great season so far and I personally have loved seeing each of them grow on and off the court. They’re really a great group.”
