Report Provided By:  Gene Cassidy

OSCVI in Owen Sound was the site last night for the BAA Girls' Basketball All-Star Night hosted by the Grey Bruce Association of Basketball Officials.  The night was a huge success with the bleachers packed with appreciative fans who contributed money or food as their price of admission.  All food and profits will be donated to local food banks.

The Junior game kicked off the evening at 6 PM and was an exciting affair.  The North Squad, coached by Adam Jones and Maria MacLeod of St. Marys HS, led for most of the game.  A strong finish by the South Squad, coached by Scott Mahood and Vince Yenssen of Kincardine DSS, pulled out a 36 to 30 victory for the South.  Victoria Carroll of Sacred Heart SS led the South to victory pouring in 12 points.  Jean Ann Keelan of Kincardine had 10.  Amanda Martin of OSCVI led the North with 10 points helped by
Kendra Schultz of PSDS with 7 points.

At half-time of the Junior game Mason Macumber of OSCVI won the 3-point shooting competition pouring in 7 threes in the one minute allotted time.  Emily Scott and Jean Ann Keelan of KDSS won the Two-Ball competition with a score of 40 points.

The Senior game proved to be equally as exciting with the North, coached by Jeff Cooper of OSCVI and Ken Lougheed of WHSS, leading most of the way only to have the South, coached by Kevin Matheson of WDSS and Vince Yenssen of KDSS, come back and take a late game lead.  This time the North did prevail coming away with an entertaining 54 - 49 victory.  The North was led by Maddie Lougheed of WHSS with 10 points, Audrey Liskauskas of OSCVI with 9 and Emily Lawler of GHSS with 7.  Kelly Gribbons of Saugeen DSS led the South with 12 points and Faith Mwasalla of KDSS chipped in with 9.

The Senior half-time competition winners were Margo Triedlinger of KDSS who poured in 9 and then 8 three-pointers in the two rounds of the 3-Point Shootout.  Karly Moore and Samantha Weber were the last shooters and took away the Two-Ball title pouring in 49 points. 

The girls were all presented with souvenir T-shirts of the event graciously donated by SBP Custom Embroidery and East Side Marios.  The half-time competition winners were given prizes by Rintoul's LeisureScapes (Phil Rintoul), Re/Max (Darlene Jones), Pet Hospital (Dr. Kevin Belbeck) and freiburger communications (Marty Tengelis).  These generous sponsors allowed us to run an exciting evening for these 38 outstanding young athletes.
