Spartans Capture First-Ever Provincial AA Boys Basketball Championship

The Senior Varsity Boys basketball team capped off their 2025–2026 season in the best way possible this past weekend by winning the Provincial AA Boys Basketball Championship. The boys were in Gimli for their bracket-style tournament, and their first opponent would end up taking them to the brink of defeat.

The Gabrielle-Roy Les Roys certainly set the tone against the Spartans, but MBCI thrived when the pressure was on and ended up beating Gabrielle-Roy 64–63 in a nail-biting overtime period.

The Spartans then moved on to face the Immanuel Christian Falcons, a team they had already seen and defeated in a prior tournament earlier this season. It was no easy task, but the boys handled the Falcons in a hard-fought 73–69 victory.

After that game, the stage was set for the championship final, where MBCI would take on a familiar foe in Souris for all the marbles. The last time the boys played in Gimli during their regular-season basketball tournament, Souris defeated MBCI in the final 70–59. This time, however, the Spartans would get their revenge by winning 84–75.

That win will hold a very special place in the Spartan sports history books, as for the first time ever the MBCI Senior Varsity Boys basketball team has won a Provincial Basketball Championship. A huge congratulations goes out to the players, coaches, and volunteers who helped this squad throughout the entire season.
