WCSSAA Junior: Knights Post Important Win Over Glenview

In a battle between two 7-2 teams last night at Bluevale, the Bluevale Knights continued their strong play and came through with a 48-34 victory over the Glenview Park Panthers.

As you can tell, defense was the key in this one.  The Knights held GPSS star Sean Davidson to just 11 points, his lowest league output of the season (he came into the contest averaging 20.9 PPG in WCSSAA games).  The 34 points also marked a season-low for Glenview.

Alongside Davidson's 11, fellow Panther Chris Thompson added 9.  Jeevan Sidhu led Bluevale with a game-high 16 points, and Jake Becker netted 12.
