GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — The Dalton CRA seventh- and eighth-grade girls travel basketball team last weekend won the Golden Knights Tournament, becoming the first Berkshire County program to win the event since Lee in 2009 and only the second county team to win the seventh- and eighth-grade division since the tournament began in 1989.

Teams from Clifton Park have won seven of the previous 28 tournament titles, including last year’s.
