The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks have picked up their second "CWOSSA commitment" of the season, signing 6'7" SF Jack Simmons from Galt Collegiate (Cambridge) last week.

Simmons was instrumental in helping turn around some lean years on the GCI basketball court; he led the Ghosts to a #1 CWOSSA "AAA" ranking last season.

This year, the Ghosts were among the "AAA" favourites again before their season was cut short with the absence of extracurricular activities at many public schools.  Despite that, Simmons made a mark at the Heinbuch tournament by pouring in 30 points in a 71-65 Galt loss to Mother Teresa (Scarborough).

The 6'7" Simmons has a nice mid-range game and can also step out and hit the three-pointer.  Certainly a nice CIS prospect, and he will team with another 6'6"+ forward, Cameron Heights' Vlad Matovic, as two CWOSSA recruits that we can keep an eye on locally over the coming years.

Congratulations, Jack!
