In the boys under-16s division one championship, Launceston City Gibson fought to the wire to upset the undefeated Burnie Tigers 59-58.
The win would be made all the more sweeter given Launceston's loss to Burnie in the first game of the championships.
The upset was largely due City's Lachlan Brewer, who scored 29 points. Brewer would finish with an average of 30.3 points per game.
Prior to his finals match against Burnie, Brewer said this year's state junior championships had been great.
"It's been really fun ... there's been a lot of tight games," he said.
Burnie's under-16 girls division one side would also get a 73-37 rinsing at the hands of Devonport.
They would see a championship courtesy of their under-18 division one girls, who took down Somerset Heat 73-49.
The Tigers showed dominance across the board, with Reese Davis finishing the final with 18 points.
The Glenorchy Spartans won the boys under-18 championship.
