So much for being a #11 seed.
The St. John's Green Eagles advanced to the OFSAA "AAAA" gold medal game by knocking off #2 Mother Teresa (London) 45-42 in a Friday evening semifinal game.
Interestingly enough, the Green Eagles will be playing the team they lost to in the first round on Thursday, the #1 St. Thomas More Knights, in the OFSAA final. With the modified double-elimination format, both STM and St. John's ran the table and now find themselves facing off in tomorrow afternoon's final (4:00pm). I'll go on a limb and say that this probably hasn't ever happened at an OFSAA championship before (at least that I can remember).
St. Thomas More defeated CWOSSA's other entry, the WCI Vikings, 74-49 in the other semifinal.
To get to the final, St. John's got past #6 Pickering, #3 Westdale (Hamilton) and then Mother Teresa in succession.
Two teams, two medals for CWOSSA at "AAAA" OFSAA. Not too shabby!
