Another high-calibre tournament, another high-calibre result for the St. John's Green Eagles Senior Girls' basketball team.This past weekend, the Green Eagles traveled to Hamilton to participate in St. Thomas More's "More Hoops" Invitational Tournament.
The event was a 16-team pool event, and the Green Eagles were victorious in their pool before bowing out of the tournament on a heartbreaking buzzer-beater three pointer.

The Green Eagles lost to Oakville Loyola 46-44 on the aforementioned buzzer beater, but did get a nice performance from Kendra Van Leeuwen (22 points). She was named to the tournament's all-star team.
The WCI Vikings were the other CWOSSA team in attendance at the tournament; they went 0-3 in pool play with losses to St. Mary's of Hamilton (67-28), Oakville Holy Trinity (43-36) and St. Anne's (37-33).
