Three West Kootenay teams competing at B.C. High School Basketball Tournaments took is on the chin during opening day action.

Also in Kamloops, the J. Lloyd Crowe Hawks were hammered 116-24 by Holy Cross of Vancouver in the B.C. High School AA Girl’s Basketball tournament while Mount Sentinel Wildcats lost 80-41 to host Unity Christian at the B.C. High School A Boy’s Basketball event in Chilliwack.

The Okanagan champs outscored the Bombers 29-11 in the first quarter and never looked back.

Ryan Lintell had 20 points to lead Kelowna Christian.

For the Bombers Matt Zukowski had 17 points while Cail Spencer and Ethan Perkins scored 14 and 11 points respectively.

Erich Schepkowski had 10 points for LVR.

The Bombers lost point guard Jack Sturrup to a charley horse.
