KENNETCOOK: The Hants North Flames senior boys basketball team are going back to provincial.
On Saturday afternoon, the Flames nabbed their fourth straight Division 3 Northumberland Regional banner with a close 79-77 victory over Guysburough/Canso.
The championship final was a back-and-forth affair between the two equally competitive teams.
Hants North was led by a balanced attack with 30 points from Dylan Miller.
Austin Doucette had 16 points; Carter Graham notched 12 points; and Blake Withrow contributed 11 points in the win.
The Flames players put in a solid all-round game with strong defensive stops when required.
The provincial Division 3 championships will be held next weekend, hosted by Shelburne.
