With the 2018-2019 SPC Championship circuit in full swing it was a busy weekend with multiple sports wrapping up their seasons.
Kinkaid finished off a couple of its by hoisting a trophy.

This marks the first SPC Championship for Kinkaid since 2015 and ends a streak of three-straight runner-up finishes. It also ended Episcopal's run at two-straight SPC Championships.
