The Swift Current Comp. Grad 9 Colts claimed the 2016 SWAC Junior Boys Basketball League Championship on home court last night.

Playing host to Maple Creek, the Colts used a strong performance on both ends of the court en route to a 61-46 victory.

Swift Current got off to a fast start in last night's game, outscoring Maple Creek 15-4 in the first quarter.

Despite being outscored in the second frame, the Colts were still able to take a seven point lead into the half at 24-17.

A 17 point third quarter for Swift Current allowed the Colts to regain their breathing room, leading 41-29 entering the fourth.

With Maple Creek needing to outscore the Colts by at least 12 points in the final frame, the Colts made that task almost impossible with their offense putting up 20 points in the fourth.

SWAC Basketball leagues will wrap up next week with both the Senior Boys and Senior Girls league championship games.
