Cascades Hall of Fame
The 2001-02 Cascades men’s basketball team won the second CCAA national championship in program history -- and its second in three years.
The team, guided by head coach Pat Lee and assistant coach Tom Antil, rolled through its BCCAA conference schedule with a 17-1 record, with an average margin of victory of 22.5 points per game.
The Cascades would cruise to gold at the BCCAA championship tournament, topping the Langara Falcons 80-63 in the semis, and avenging their lone regular-season loss by beating the University College of the Cariboo (now known as Thompson Rivers) 86-71 in the final.
At the national championships in Truro, Nova Scotia, the Cascades blew out King's College 106-56 in the quarterfinals, then weathered a tough Dawson College squad 66-65 in the semis. They locked up the gold medal with an 85-72 triumph over Sheridan College in the final.
Mike Lee was named MVP of the national tourney, and Logan Kitteringham was selected a first team all-star. Other team members included Mike McLaverty, Brent Sedo, Brad Petersen, Peter Wauthy, Kyle Morton, Kevin Dieleman, Wayne Jones, Dan Turner, Anthony Toth, Bryson Tiedeman, Matt Thiessen, Dan Young, and Aaron Wells.
