Fawcett was a well-known athlete from across the district --- she participated in OBA Basketball for Owen Sound/Collingwood, and was a track athlete for the Saugeen Track and Field club as well as her high school (placing 6th in the junior girls high jump at CWOSSA last year). Of course, she was also one of the top performers from her school's team. She was 15 years of age.
Her funeral is on Saturday in Markdale. Obviously, our prayers are with her family at this time. Some further information can be found through a Facebook page established in her honour.
As a result of this sudden and sad news, the GHSS junior & senior girls basketball teams will be defaulting their playoff games today in the BAA quarterfinals --- the senior girls finished 3rd and were to take on 2nd place West Hill SS, who will advance to the BAA North finals against the winner of #1 OSCVI and #4 Georgian Bay SS. That game (as well as junior action) goes today.
In the BAA south (senior) conference, Kincardine DSS and Walkerton are tied for first and will play on Friday to determine first place in the south loop.
The winner of that game will also host the "BAA Final Four" on November 11th.
Playoff structure is such that the top remaining south team crosses over in a semifinal game against "North #2", while the top North team plays South #2; winners advance to the final.
