HHHS/RCSS Purple & Gold Consolation Final & 3rd Place Game

Consolation Final: Philip Pocock (Mississauga) 55, Waterloo CI 52

In a very exciting consolation final, the Philip Pocock Pirates (Mississauga) came from behind to defeat the WCI Vikings 55-52.

The Pirates actually trailed by 7 points with around 3:00 to play, but gradually clawed back as WCI took a couple of quick shots and missed. Despite trailing by 4 with 1:00 to go, a quick three and a turnover (resulting in a Pocock layup) gave the Pirates the lead for good.

For Pocock, Kevin Sarimento and Jonathan Cruz each had 15 points. Malcolm Piazza was the top Viking with 13.

Third-Place Game: Resurrection 59, Grand River 47

The Resurrection Phoenix used an 11-0 third quarter run to erase a 10 point halftime deficit and outscored the Renegades 35-13 over the final two quarters to win by 12. Both teams substituted liberally as expected. Rez PG Adam Schneider was again out for the Phoenix due to injury, and is questionable for their league game on Monday.
