We are pleased to announce a “clean sweep” for the four Turnbull School basketball teams. The junior boys and girls teams, along with the senior boys and girls teams each won their respective OISAA Championships this year. The senior girls team also won the Montreal Independent Schools Invitational Basketball Tournament in January. Congratulations to all of the players and coaches for their hard work and dedication.
