North Lambton came away with a 42-41 win after a back and forth battle with LCCVI in the LKSSAA Senior Girls ‘AA’ basketball final Thursday night in Petrolia.
The Eagles started fast, jumping out to a 24-7 lead but the Lancers fought all the way back to take a two-point lead at the end of three quarters.
The two teams traded baskets in the fourth quarter but ultimately the winning points came on a pair of North Lambton free throws with just under ten seconds left.
It’s the third straight year that the Eagles have won a Lambton-Kent Senior Girls basketball title. They won the ‘A’ division championship in 2024 and have taken home the ‘AA’ championship in 2025 and 2026.
North Lambton will head to the Windsor area to face either Essex or North Star in the SWOSSAA ‘AA’ championship game Tuesday. The time of the game is still to be determined.
In the Junior Girls final, Wallaceburg took down LCCVI 31-24. The Tartans only lost one game this season en route to the LKSSAA title.
