Monday News: St. James Update

A couple worthwhile notes on two St. James stars from this past weekend's Guelph Tribune:

Firstly, senior girls' star Katie Mora has agreed to play hockey for the University of Guelph.  Mora was a D10 all-star in all three sports that she played (basketball, hockey, soccer), and according to the article, St. James staff have compared her with a couple of the all-time great athletes that the east-side Guelph high school has produced.

On the basketball court, Mora hit double figures in 10 of 14 D10 regular season games, with 7 games of 18+ points.  Her loss will be partially offset by some quality junior talent moving up from the 2009 D10 junior girls championship team.

Meanwhile, the article confirms an earlier note that we had listed here ---- St. James senior boys star Ryan Higgins will be returning for a 5th year.  The article notes that Higgins, who was STJ's senior athlete of the year this year, will return to St. James for one semester to suit up for the Lions.  Higgins has "recently wrote his SATs and he expects he'll be playing NCAA ball in September of 2011".
