Even though that was only seven (or so) years back, it certainly feels like a longer time ago especially after seeing yesterday's results.
The favourites to win this year's title, the St. Mary's Eagles, demolished the Rockway Flames 104-25 yesterday in senior action, putting up 50+ points in each half en route to the win.
Nathan Riley had 15 to lead the Eagles' balanced attack, while Michael Born had a solid effort for Rockway with 12.
Things weren't much prettier for Flame fans in the tail end of the senior-junior doubleheader as St. Mary's romped in an 80-26 game.
David Nguyen (21) and Devante Douse (13) led the Eagles while Connor Huxman had 7 and Liam Robinson 5 for Rockway.
Here's a look at the other results, and the standings for the D8 league:
