The Carberry Colts senior varsity boys basketball team moved one step closer to a provincial title after a win in Carberry, Manitoba. On March 7, 2026, the team defeated the Green Valley Pirates 97-90 in a high-stakes qualifier game. This victory allows the local team to advance in the tournament season overseen by the Manitoba High Schools Athletic Association (MHSAA).
The high-scoring game was a key part of the AA provincial bracket, which groups together mid-sized schools from across the province. The Colts, ranked fourth heading into the match, faced a tough opponent in fifth-seeded Green Valley, a team from Grunthal that competes in the Zone 13 region. The win secures the Colts’ spot in the upcoming provincial championship tournament.
The provincial tournament is the final stage of the high school basketball season in Manitoba. Teams compete in different categories based on the number of students at their school to ensure fair play. Following this latest win, the Colts will continue their season as they move into the provincial championship draw scheduled for later this month.
