In a thrilling all-star game last night at the University of Guelph, the D10 all-stars were able to survive a 33 point barrage by D8 MVP Andrew Mwangi (Resurrection) and defeat the D8 all-stars by a 108-105 final in overtime. The game was played under FIBA rules and featured 10-minute quarters.
With the score 94-92 for D10 and only 6.7 seconds remaining in regulation, D8's Alex Thompson drove the lane and missed the tying layup. However, Mwangi was right there to tip back the rebound and send the game to an extra session.
The D10 controlled the early part of the extra session --- at one point building a 7 point lead. However, a couple of missed free-throws down the stretch and D8 made baskets (including Mwangi's fifth three-pointer of the game) made it 108-105 with 8 seconds left.
After a D8 timeout, D10 turned the ball over and gave D8 the opportunity to tie things up. However, Ben Bankazo's three-point attempt was just off the mark.
Alongisde Mwangi's 33 points, Bankazo (St. Mary's) added 21 for D8 while Alex Thompson (St. Mary's) had 16. For D10, Ryan Higgins (St. James) pumped home 26, Mike Finoro (Lourdes) had 16 - all in the second half, and Centennial's Rob House and Jay Francis had 11 each.
Prior to the game, House was honoured with his third consecutive D10 MVP award. Higgins and Bankazo were given the respective honours as game MVPs.

Junior Game
The D10 all-stars defeated the D8 all-stars by a 101-64 final in the early half of the doubleheader.
The D10ers used a quick 11-0 run (while doing a 1-3-1 press.....in an all star game?) to take control early and didn't look back.
"Our guys had fun," said D8 head coach Chris Aldworth (RCSS). "We met up once last night to shoot around and scrimmage a bit - it was definitely surprising that they decided to press us in an all-star game," he laughed. "That's not to take anything away from them (D10) as, top to bottom, there is some serious talent over there," he added.
Prior to the contest, Mitchell Wood (BMac) and Chris Watson (Lourdes) were named co-MVPs of the D10 league. Wood led the D10 all-stars with 17 points, while Chris Walser (St. Mary's) took control of the bulk of PG duties due to Rez guard Adam Schneider not playing due to injury. He led D8 with 15 points and was the D8's player of the game. Mike Friesen (JF Ross) took player of the game honours for D10.

Coach Matt Krass of Resurrection showed his true colours at last nights game. It was favoritism at its finest. It was disgusting how he treated the players that were not from his school or St. Mary's. Last nine minutes of the game(including overtime) he did not make one substition. He played only his players and those of St. Mary's. All the players that were there are "all stars". He should be ashamed of himself.
