Tony McCrory — Ladysmith 49ers

Tony McCrory of the Ladysmith 49ers was the most valuable player of the 1995 British Columbia senior boys AAA basketball tournament, leading Ladysmith to its first provincial championship.

The 6-foot-6 Grade 12 swingman scored 155 points in four games — 35, 48, 34 and 37 — breaking the tournament scoring record of 149 set by Richmond's Alan Tait 15 years earlier. His 48 points came in a quarter-final upset of the third-seeded Richmond Colts, when he also grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked 4 shots. In the final he scored 37 as Ladysmith beat the Clearbrook MEI Eagles 74-70, the first North Vancouver Island school to win the title since 1978.

"This was a team win, that's all I care about," McCrory said of the record.
