Junior Trojans, Phoenix Set for Sarnia This Weekend

In junior boys basketball news, the Resurrection Phoenix and Forest Heights Trojans will be heading to Sarnia this weekend for the annual St. Christopher's CSS "Black and Blue" Tournament.

The Trojans are the tournament's defending champions, while the Phoenix won the title in 2009.

The tournament tips off with action on Friday afternoon.  FHCI will battle Sarnia St. Clair (2:30pm, St. Christopher) will Resurrection faces Sarnia St. Patrick's (4:00pm, St. Patrick's).

The Trojans play again at 5:30 against either St. Christopher or London South, while Rez's second game is at 7pm against either Sarnia Northern or St. Basil's from Sault Ste. Marie.

The tournament format is such that first-round winners play first-round losers in the second round, so a loss does not necessarily eliminate you from championship contention --- though it does make for a tougher road.

The championship game is at 4:30pm on Saturday at St. Christopher.
