Last Friday, the top two teams in Roundball Surrey Elite met in the Finals… and the atmosphere was different.

The number-one seed Goon Squad, back in the finals for the third straight season after two heartbreaks, came in chasing redemption.

Across from them: the Soldiers, the number-two seed, finally back in title contention with Parm Bains returning to the lineup after two years.

And right away, this game was a movie
Right out of the gate Parm went absolutely ballistic

Hitting not one 

Not two

Not three

But six threes in the first half alone.

With Aurel and Sukhman getting stops and scoring, Soldiers jumped out to a double-digit lead.

Goon Squad looked unusually cold. 

And for a moment, it looked like the curse might continue.

But everything changed in the second half.

That’s when team captain and head coach KG ignited his squad.

The energy on the sideline flipped instantly and Goon Squad finally found life.

Suddenly, they started stacking stops.

Turning defense into transition offense.

Play after play.

Possession after possession.

And then came the moment that shifted the entire night.

Down 10…

Goon Squad storms back…

tie game…

and then JB buries a corner three for their first lead

The entire gym felt the momentum flip.

Soldiers looked exhausted.

And Goon Squad looked reborn.

And from that point on, the momentum never came back.

The four-headed monster of DK, Woods, Tyrone, and Riley kept pushing the pace, attacking downhill, and overwhelming a Soldiers team that were visibly running out of steam.

Goon Squad blew the game wide open with a massive second-half run.

And the final dagger

DK hitting a baseline fadeaway to put the game away.

After three seasons of heartbreak…

they finally broke the curse.

Final score: 93–70.

Goon Squad are your Surrey Elite champions

Dylan finished with 27 and 8, winning Finals MVP on top of already being Regular Season MVP, averaging 35.5ppg, and earning Most Outstanding Scorer.

A statement win.

A statement season.
And a statement that Goon Squad wears the crown.
