Most Dedicated - This award is given to the player who bleeds Blue Storm Basketball, on and off the court. This year's winner is Gabe Valentine.

Blue Storm Boys Basketball returns in 2027.

Last night, we hosted our Summer League Playoffs... And what a night it was with two thrilling basketball games.

In the Semi Final Action, it was a battle of defence with neither team breaking for the whole game. Team Crowley battled to the end, however Team Harris had just enough left to push them over the edge to take it 51-44. Player of the Game for Team Crowley was Owen Connolly with 13 points. Team Harris was lead by Cohen Campbell with another double double of 14 points and 11 rebounds.

This set up the Finals between Team Harris & Team Onososen. This game could go down as one of the best in Blue Storm Summer League with it going back and forth right on to the end. Gabe Valentine hit the game winner with a beautiful reverse layup to win it for Team Onososen 66-65. This marks the first win for Team Onososen and etches the squad in the Blue Storm Summer League record books. Player of the game for Team Harris was Charlie Belliveau with 16 points and 8 rebounds. Team Onososen was lead by Jude Ring with 13 points and 8 rebounds.
