The game headed to overtime tied at 44. In the extra frame, Pender Island’s Liam Brown hit a clutch shot with just eight seconds on the clock to lift Vancouver-Coastal to the victory, and the bronze medal.
Vancouver Island-Central Coast won the gold medal, defeating Fraser Valley.
In archery, the lone Thompson-Okanagan representative, Eliana Stein, won double gold in girls match play compound sighted and girls day two aggregate compound sighted.
The final medal standings had Fraser River topping the podium with 99 (35 gold, 37 silver and 227 bronze). Thompson-Okanagan was third, with 79 (27 gold, 27 silver, 25 bronze).
