This is how the organizers describe it: “Other high school tournaments
are bigger and some have been around longer, but none match the
Winnipeg Invitational Tournament for the combined package of
quality, tradition and prestige. In 1974, a small group of basketball
crazy coaches and teachers conceived the idea for WIT. When it made
its debut two years later, WIT was immediately the crown jewel of high
school hoops.” This year, action at the WIT was non-stop ad the Sisler
Spartans were clearly the class of the event, beating Maples 99-78 in
the tournament final. l
