St. Catherine High were Southern Conference runners-up.

Highlighting yesterday's final however was the Million Dollar Bonanza shoot-off put on by the sponsors.

Twenty contestants took shots from the free-throw line including 76-year-old Gloria White and one-year-old Orlando Scott. But only Sly Scott and Sharon Swaby were successful in their first attempts. For that they won an additional $10,000 with the $25,000 granted to all the selected participants.
