The Vikings certainly didn't have much trouble on Thursday to rebound from their opening loss to Huron Heights. Dani Elgadi led the way with 18, while Zach Totzke netted 14. Patrick Iskat had 12 to lead the way for Preston, with Tyler Gibner adding 4.
Bluevale 37, Glenview Park 34
Another tight win for the Knights as a possible game-tying three pointer by Sean Davidson rimmed out. Jeevan Sidhu had 17 and John Efechaobor 9 for Bluevale; Davidson had a game-high 18 for Glenview with Erist Wame adding 10.
SJAM 52, KCI 33

Jacob Hespeler 62, Forest Hts. 45
In a rematch of last year's WCSSAA semifinal, won by the Trojans (66-47), the Hawks flipped the script with a convincing win on Thursday.

Ryan Hagey had 11 and Elijah Callendar 7 for the Trojans.
Eastwood 70, Elmira 42
The Rebels moved to 2-0 with a win at home over Elmira (0-2). Farid Hashemi (19) and Sydney Stewart (14) led the way for Eastwood while Brian Gruneberg had 10 for Elmira with three other Lancers scoring 7.
Cameron Hts. 76, Galt 37
A bit of a surprising score out of Kitchener as the Gaels jumped out early on Galt and never looked back. Vedran Dmitrovic led the Gaels with 21 while Afraz Khan netted 16; Jack Simmons scored 13 for Galt with rookie TJ Lall adding 9.
