CWOSSA will be coming home with one medal (for the first time since 2007) this basketball season, thanks to the Bishop Macdonell Celtics.The Celtics assured themselves of a "top 4" finish at the "AA" basketball championships in Richmond Hill by defeated the host team, the Jean Vanier Jaguars, in a 63-44 game on Tuesday evening.
BMAC jumped to a 32-14 lead at half, and didn't look back en route to clinching their semifinal berth. Mitchell Wood (17) and Jesse Kendall (12) led the way for the Celtics.
Earlier in the day, Bishop Mac won their second round game by a 60-47 score over the #13 seed, Timmins CVI. Kendall knocked home 22 in that one, while Wood added 14 more.
Bishop Macdonell will be tipping off shortly (10:00am) in their semifinal game against the #1 seed, ACMT out of Hamilton.
You may recall that Bishop Mac stunned ACMT at the buzzer in the Silver Fox tournament back in December. It will certainly be interesting to see how things play out this time around.
