2000-WHS Red Raiders

Following the path blazed by the 1946 Dominion Champions, the 1947 Red Raiders captured the Maritime Juvenile Championship.

In 1948, led by new coach Alfie Tommy, inspired by winning the New Brunswick "B” Provincial High School Tournament, and bolstered by a couple of additionally players, the Red Raiders set their sights on going all the way.

Blowing past Newcastle and after a convincing win over the Saint John Meteors, the Red Raiders settled into the friendlier confines of the Woodstock Armory to meet the winner of the Quebec / Ontario series from Toronto.

Dropping the first game (53-51) after a hard-fought contest, the Red Raiders came roaring back using their superior speed to pound out a 23 point win (52-29).

The Lady Byng Trophy emblematic of the Dominion Juvenile Championship was back home in Woodstock, New Brunswick.
