New Aiyansh vs Hydaburg
It’s a rematch of Thursday afternoon’s game which saw an upset of Hydaburg by the New Aiyansh squad. Knocked down into the Consolation Bracket, Hydaburg had to get by Bella Bella if they wanted a shot at their sixth straight title. The Heiltsuk side stayed within striking distance of their opponents for much of the game, but an and-one connection from Hydbaurg’s Anthony Lindoff late in the third finally seemed to take the wind out of their opponenent’s sails. Hydaburg would go on to grab the 84-73 win. Tip-off is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
