A provincial semi-finalist the year before, Centennial’s senior boy’s basketball team had its eye on provincial gold in 1971-72.
A tough, one-point loss to the North Delta Huskies in the Fraser Valley final served as a perfect lesson for the Centennial Centaurs and head coach Gordon Betcher. In response, the Centaurs stepped up and knocked off opponent after opponent en route to the B.C. championship final.
Led by 6’11” Lars Hansen, who was voted the tournament MVP after scoring 39 points in both the semi-final and the B.C. final, Centennial blasted North Delta 60-40 for the 1972 B.C. high school title.
