It was a tight game as NVSS defeated FLESS at 55 to 50.

Finishing behind Fraser Lake during the third period at 39 to 42, NVSS surged ahead with two free throws in the last two minutes  to bring the team up to 51:50, then another two as the clock ticked past one minute, and with two last free throws in the last four seconds of the game.

The 2015 Nechako Valley Secondary School Viking Invitational Basketball Tournament also included teams from Quesnel, Prince George, and Burns Lake.
