A big matchup yesterday in the NSSAA featured the Delhi Raiders (3-0 entering play) and the Holy Trinity Titans (2-1 entering the contest).
Though rivals in league play, these clubs each feature about 5 players who are teammates in the offseason (on the Norfolk Nets OBA team), which always adds a bit of fuel to the fire. Tuesday's game was another hotly contested effort, but it was the Titans who were able to hold off the Raiders and come away with a 46-39 victory at home. Though Holy Trinity led throughout the game, Delhi did get within 4 points in the final frame but could not muster a further push.
Josh Johnson had 4 three-pointers and 20 poins in total for Holy Trinity, while teammate Kevin McDonald had 18 and Andrew Mattan added 6 on two deep three-pointers.
Delhi's scoring details weren't immediately available but 6'6" post Justin Lichach was dominant in the paint while Donte Richardson (a transfer from New Jersey) was able to slice his way to the basket for a strong scoring effort himself.
Some other CWOSSA clubs will get a close look at the Titans in the coming weeks --- they are playing in the Brantford CI tournament this weekend, and then will head to Waterloo next Friday for a mini-tournament (with St. David and Huron Heights).
