The Cariboo League wrapped up their season last weekend in Prince George.

The results for Quesnel were a bit of a mixed bag, with everything from second place finishes to a sixth place finish.

Gilbert Schotel, a coach with the U13/14 girls and an organizer of the league, said he was happy with the results, stressing that the goal of the league was to serve to build the young players and encourage them to continue.

Quesnel fielded five teams: U12 girls; U13/14 girls; U16 girls; U12 boys and U16 boys.

The U12 girls took second, with a win and a loss on the weekend.

The U12 boys struggled through their games, losing both 0-4 despite strong play, Schotel said. The two losses put the team in sixth, with two Prince George teams taking part in the tournament.

The U14 girls tied for second with 100 Mile House, with a loss to P.G. 2-1 and a tie with 100 Mile, 1-1.

The U16 girls took second, winning against PG, 6-1, and losing against,Williams Lake 2-0.

The U16 boys struggled, losing both  games and coming in last in their division.

Schotel said this season went over well.

"It's the second season with Prince George in the league and they've really invigorated the league," he said.

The league includes teams from Prince George, Williams Lake and 100 Mile House.

Both the U13 and U15 girls are now looking forward to provincials next week in North Vancouver
