The Resurrection junior boys' team posted a 2-1 record this past weekend in Stratford, taking home the St. Michael's CSS Invitational tournament (round-robin) by way of tiebreak.No team went undefeated amongst the 4 participants, with Resurrection, St. Michael's, and Tillsonburg finishing with 2-1 records; St. Joseph (St. Thomas) was 0-4.
FYI - Tillsonburg's entry was actually a club team made up of junior-aged players, given the current "extracurricular issue" facing many public schools around the province.
The deciding game was a 63-40 Resurrection win over that Tillsonburg team on Saturday afternoon, which allowed them to take the "plus-minus" tiebreak amongst the tied teams. Muyang Iluya led the way for Rez with a 16 point & 8 rebound effort, while Prince Dang netted 10 points and PG Ali Rashid added 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 blocked shots.
Tillsonburg defeated St. Michael's, while St. Michael's got past Resurrection in action on Friday.
There was also a senior component to the tournament, a three-team event that included CWOSSA representation from Walkerton Sacred Heart. The Crusaders dropped their opener to St. Joseph's (St. Thomas) 42-40 in overtime, before falling to host St. Michael in their second game of the three team round-robin.
