The Bert Church High School Chargers junior-varsity girls basketball team defeated the Cochrane Cobras 56-34 to win the Rocky View Sports Association (RVSA) divisional gold medal March. 2.
Despite going on a run where they closed the gap on the Chargers late in the fourth quarter, the Cobras were unable to solve the Chargers’ defence.
“They were tough and aggressive and we weren’t,” said Cochrane head coach Doug Jensen. “We didn’t play well. We couldn’t finish a number of layups and we weren’t very good from the free throw line. Bert Church did all of that.
“It happened two or three times where we went on a run and got close and all of a sudden we had a breakdown on defence. Any time we started to close the gap, they came back stronger. They responded well to any pressure we put on them.”
Cochrane High is hosting the JV girls Zone tournament March 8-9.
