Silver was as good as gold.
The Cedars Christian School Eagles played in Saturday's final game of the senior girls basketball single-A provincial championship tournament in Sparwood and fell to the powerhouse Houston Christian Wildcats 75-48. But, for the Eagles, just having the chance to shoot for the B.C. banner was a bonus.
In the semifinal round, the third-ranked Eagles upset the second-seeded Abbotsford Christian Knights 80-76.
"We had a really good run," said Cedars coach Al MacDonald. "We're pretty pleased with the silver medal. It's special. The girls worked hard and the whole team and the community is pretty proud."
