The junior varsity boys' basketball team at Strathmore High School will host an end-of-season tournament this weekend.

Eight 3A teams from across the region will compete in the tournament, with Strathmore’s first game set against Canmore on Friday at 3:30 p.m.

"We're all relatively similarly sized schools," said Strathmore High coach Andy Miciak. "It's kind of the culmination of the year for junior varsity basketball, and the winners will receive the zone banner to display in the gym."

The winner of the game between Strathmore and Canmore will advance to the semifinals on Saturday at noon, with the finals taking place later that evening.

"Canmore has smaller guards who are really good shooters, so we’re going to have to do a good job defensively containing them," Miciak added. "We’ll also rely on our physicality and intensity to make it tough for them."

The event is free to attend and open to the public.
