Eastwood's Hudyn Puts up First 15+ Performance

Senior girls' basketball is officially underway, as evidenced by some tournament play this past weekend.

The Eastwood Rebels travelled to Sarnia, Ontario to participate in a very competitive tournament with some top teams across the province.  In fact, of the semifinalists, three of them were either medalists or ranked in the top 3 at their respective OFSAA championship last season.

ECI's star forward, 6'2" grade 11 Michelle Hudyn, pumped in 24 points in their opening round game against the Sarnia St. Christopher Cyclones on Friday.  It wasn't quite enough, though, as the Rebs fell 44-36 in the contest.

Eastwood went on to defeat London Westminster 38-21 in their second game before falling to Chatham Ursuline 47-27 in the consolation semifinals.   

On the other side of the bracket, thanks to the Sarnia Observer, we can tell you that the tournament was won by St. Basil (Sault Ste. Marie; ranked #3 last year at OFSAA AA) who defeated Ingersoll (last year's 3rd ranked AAA OFSAA school) in the final.  Ingersoll defeated Sarnia St. Clair (last year's OFSAA AA Silver Medalist) in the semifinals.

In case those schools sound familiar, some of our CWOSSA schools do have a history with them.  #9 KCI upset #3 Ingersoll during last year's OFSAA AAA tournament, while Guelph Bishop Mac was the school that defeated Sarnia St. Clair in last year's OFSAA AA gold medal game.
