Chyro Blackwood was a terrific talent that kept some otherwise average Resurrection teams competitive during the mid 2000s.
Blackwood was widely considered one of the top dunkers around during his time, but also developed a solid outside shot during his career.
A memorable game was Chyro's effort during the 2005 CWOSSA "AAAA" tournament at Resurrection where he nearly helped Resurrection (the #8 seed) to an upset win over Jaan Montgomery, Gavin Horne and the #1 WCI Vikings ---- the Phoenix ended up falling by single digits in that one.
After high school, Chyro spent a year at Niagara College before ending up over at Fanshawe College in London this year. He only appeared in 7 games, but scored 15.0 PPG during that time. In an exhibition game at Laurier (a close 73-69 loss), Blackwood scored 12 points (3-of-4 from three) and added 5 rebounds.
