Heinbuch: Forest Heights Loses to Loyola by 7......or 11

The Forest Heights Trojans dropped a respectable 73-62 (as per the scoreboard) decision to the Loyola (Oakville) Hawks on Thursday evening at St. Mary's; in actuality, the score was 71-64 as the scoreboard inadvertently credited a 3rd quarter Forest Heights basket to Loyola that went uncorrected.

It was definitely a game of runs; Forest Heights fell behind by 13 at the break, but brought things back within single digits in the fourth quarter.  Loyola quickly responded, getting an "and-one" dunk by Jake Babic to take a 68-54 lead with 3:30 to go.

The Trojans kept firing, scoring the next five points and getting within 9 (68-57) about a minute and a half later.  However, there just wasn't enough time left on the clock for a comeback in this one.

All that being said, still a pretty good performance against last year's "AAAA" silver medalists, who are still considered one of the "upper tier" teams in the province.

Forest Heights guard Javon Masters had a tremendous outing, going off for 37 points, which equaled the fifth highest single-game total in Heinbuch history.  Masters took a whopping 22 free-throw attempts, converting 19 of them.  Juwan Miller added 12 and Dylan George 8 more for the Trojans.

For Loyola, their star forward Rohan Boney netted 22 points --- including Loyola's first two of the game on a vicious slam.  He also added 13 rebounds for the Hawks, while Tomi Skoko hit four threes en route to a 20 point effort.
