COCHRANE, AB – Members of the Monsignor McCoy Colts girls varsity basketball team will be bringing home some hardware back to Medicine Hat from 3A girls provincials.

On Saturday, the Colts rumbled to a 72-48 win over the Wetaskiwin Composite Sabres to earn a provincial bronze medal.

McCoy picked up back-to-back victories over Beaverlodge Regional and Brooks Composite to kick off the tournament, but lost 70-52 to St. Peter the Apostle in the semi-finals.

Winning a medal in their final appearances for the Colts, McCoy sent graduating Grade 12 students Ariana Purificati-Fune, Carley Doneff, Annika Gerl, and Hannah Stark away with bronzes around their necks.
