Duchess Park is the #1 team in the province and we played them very well, Vaughn Mueller said, NVSS basketball coach.
“It was a huge accomplishment for us considering the number three ranked team in the province got beat by 44. It’s just unfortunate we were in the same zone or we would have had a good chance of making the provincials. Duchess is an exceptional girls team. We played our best basketball and it was really good,” Mr Mueller said.
