Congratulations to the SAMS boys’ basketball team for their first place finish at the Barriere Boys Jr. Cougar basketball classic tournament. The SAMS boys went undefeated throughout the tournament boasting a 4-0 record.

The stiffest competition came from the host team Barriere. It was a nail biting, stomach wrenching, give me grey hair early kind of game against the Cougars. But we held on for a one-point victory.
