The St. John's College Green Eagles
needed overtime to do it, but they finished first in the regular season
for the Brant senior boys high school basketball league.
The Green Eagles downed the Trojans in overtime on Thursday night,
60-56, to finish with a 9-1 record on the season.
The loss means the Trojans have to settle for third place with a 7-3 record.
The Assumption College Lions finished second at 8-2.
The Lions defeated the Brantford Collegiate Institute Mustangs 66-36 on
Thursday, while the Pauline Johnson Collegiate Thunderbirds downed the
Paris District High School Panthers 71-30.
That means the T-Birds and Mustangs finish with identical 3-7 records.
The tiebreaker for the standings is head-to-head record, followed by
plus/minus points head-to-head. The T-Birds and Mustangs each defeated
the other once. But because the Mustangs only defeated the T-Birds by 10
points on Dec. 10, while the T-Birds downed the Mustangs by 24 points
last week, the Thunderbirds get fourth place.
The teams will face each other in the quarter-final, but Pauline Johnson
will now be the host site of the game.
The other quarter-final will see the Trojans play the Panthers. Those
games will take place after a two-week exam break on Tuesday, Feb. 4.
The semifinals, which the Lions and Green Eagles get a bye to, will take
place Thursday, Feb. 6.
