There have been 165 victorious teams over the four tiers in those 75 years, with two 91原创 teams taking gold in this year's competition.

In March, 91原创鈥檚 Brookswood won in overtime 69-63 against Victoria鈥檚 St. Michaels University School, and 91原创 Christian Lightning won the 2A title 75-69 over the Mulgrave Titans from West Vancouver.
