The 2007-08 team from Kennebecasis Valley High School followed up on the runner-up finish by the 2007 Kennebecasis team with a third place finish at the Reach for the Top national championships

In provincial play, the senior team easily won all their tournaments, picking up 47 wins and no losses. They qualified for Nationals along with Oromocto. They attended and won a tournament hosted by UTS, defeating 2006 and 2007 Reach champions Woburn and London Central and a team from Pickering in the final.

At nationals, the team's 10-1 round-robin record gave them the second seed for the playoffs, behind only UTS. They beat BC provincial runners-up Burnaby North and lost to Lisgar in the semifinal.

The team also finished second in the "Reach for Dalhousie" competition at Dalhousie University to another Reach finalist, Auburn.

Captain: Will Koncovy
