The Dauphin Clippers varsity boys and girls basketball teams are one step closer to competing for a provincial championship.
In Swan River Tuesday for one final zone championship game, both teams easily cruised past their Parkland rivals.
On the boys' side, Nick Hudyma -- as he has so many times this year -- led the team with 27 points, four assists, and five steals. Ronin Mouck had 22 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists to go along with six steals. Ryder Waggoner; meanwhile, had 10 points, 13 rebounds, and three blocks.
On the girls' side, the Clippers downed the Tigers, 49-33. Both teams will now advance to a pre-qualifying tournament next weekend at a location to be determined.
