SURREY — Coaches, players and teachers alike took to social media as the Semiahmoo Totems won the Surrey RCMP Classic tournament for a second straight year.

Congrats to @jeevan09 for picking up an All Star at the RCMP Classic. Jeevan was a beast on both sides of the ball dropping buckets and controlling the boards on both the O and D side. 🏀💪🏼🔥
