Your Sudbury Five just won back-to-back championships. Seriously.

You won't believe what our Five just did

Bonjour du Nord — c'est Sudbury, on lâche pas. Let's go.

Okay, ben là, you hear about the Sudbury Five? *Voyons donc*. I’m still buzzing from that game! Our boys, the Sudbury Five, just went and snagged their second straight Basketball Super League championship. They beat the KW Titans 90-89 in Kitchener, eh? That's a back-to-back title, and it was *close*. Seriously, down to the wire. You could feel the tension all the way up here, even if we weren't at the Sudbury Arena watching it on the big screen.

### Sudbury's Got That Championship Spirit

This isn't just a win, you know? It’s a statement. For a city like Sudbury, where we sometimes feel like we're always fighting to prove ourselves, having a team like the Five out there, absolutely dominating, it’s huge. It shows that grit, that determination, that *lâche pas* attitude we have here. We might not have the Leafs or the Raptors, but we have the Wolves and the Five, and they play with all the heart in the world. This is our team, and they brought it home. They brought that trophy back past the Big Nickel, right into the heart of the city.

* **What this means for Sudbury:**

* Bragging rights, pure and simple. We earned them.

* More buzz around the Sudbury Arena downtown. You know it's going to be electric next season.

* A reminder that Sudbury is a city of champions, whether it’s in sports, or in the incredible re-greening efforts we’ve made around Ramsey Lake.

This isn't just about basketball. It’s about pride, eh? It’s about a city that gets overlooked but always steps up. The Five showed everyone what Sudbury is made of. We’re not just a mining town; we're a championship town, too.

Bonjour du Nord — c'est Sudbury, on lâche pas. Let's go.

You know, my buddy Marc on *Le Matin en Direct* is probably still screaming about this game — catch him and the crew breaking it all down at mornings.live.
