The Royals won their second round game against Toronto Northern (65-57) backed by 15 points from Jack Cornett. This advanced JFR to the bronze bracket where they would win two games against WCSSAA schools.
The Royals defeated Bluevale 48-41 on Saturday morning. Wil de Groot had 11 for a balanced Ross attack, while Karsten Beney topped the Knights with 16.
In the bronze championship against another WCSSAA school, the SJAM Highlanders, Ross' quick guard Shamlo Saeed pumped in 35 points to lead Ross to a 50-43 victory. SJAM received 20 from Ben Reyhani.
Saeed's 35 points were the most scored by any player over the three-day tournament, and he was named as a Heinbuch second-team all-star. He was the lone CWOSSA player to receive all-star recognition.
D8 Clubs Struggle in Silver Semis
After posting opening-round wins to advance to the silver semifinals, the St. Mary's Eagles and Resurrection Phoenix seemed like decent bets to end CWOSSA's eight-year drought in the gold & silver divisions. However, St. Mary's, who gave everything they had the night before against Ajax J. Clarke Richardson, came out a little flat and dropped a 76-55 game to London Beal. Alex Thompson had 19 for the Eagles.
Meanwhile, Resurrection couldn't get things going offensively and fell 60-41 to Hamilton St. Thomas More. Transfer Stephen Cordle was the top scorer for Rez with 9 points.
