This group of young ladies went into their Provincial Tournament last weekend with only two wins under their belt during the regular season. They grew tremendously from that first practice under the leadership of Andrew Newcombe and Jeff Braithewaite. The girls played hard this past weekend to complete their round robin play with a 3-0 record. They beat Brantford CYO 25-17, Orillia Basketball 26-15 and IEM Scarborough 30-27. The girls lost a heart breaker to Dundas Dynamo 20-16 in the semis and the Bronze Medal game to IEM Scarborough 18-15. It was a valiant effort from all the girls over the weekend and so many of them played the best games they have ever played. Congrats Girls on a successful weekend and good luck next year.

The boys went 3-0 in pool play against teams from Stoney Creek, North Toronto and Ottawa. The boys won their semi final game on Sunday against the Ottawa Shooting Stars in a complete team effort with a score of 73-55. The boys played against the South Windsor Warriors in the final. It was a back and forth effort that came down to the final few seconds of play to decide the winner. Tate Wilkins grabbed a rebound on a missed winning layup from South Windsor and was fouled with 1.5 seconds on the clock. The player drew an unsporting foul as there was not play on the ball. Tate missed both free throws and the score remained tied. Gavin Edwards threw an inbound pass to Tate who then put up a 3 pointer for the win. It was another group effort put in by the boys and they won 48-45 for the Gold Medal.
