The Bantam Boys Basketball team finished their season with a perfect record. The team played exceptionally, and ended the season with a Halton Secondary Schools Athletic Association (HSSAA) tournament win at home.

They grasped gold in a nail-biting final against Nelson, but it certainly wasn't easy. Although the game started off close, Blakelock was losing ground in the second half. It wasn’t looking promising, but the team knew they had to focus and dig deeper. With just a few minutes remaining, the boys overcame a 17-point deficit to secure the win and remain undefeated.

The coaches, Mr. Kaufman and Mr. Nguyen, guided the team in their incredible season. Congratulations to the players: Aryan Bal, Binyam Colligan, Selim Elshabrawy, Quynn Gericke-Gillam, Ben Haaksma, Nishan Intwala, Zaid Jamal, Joshua Maher, Spencer Miller, Ethan Pak, Adam Lam Poklepovic, Jahan Singh, Evan Zhang, and for giving it their all this season. Great work Tigers!
