Galt CI's TJ Lall did his part to make sure that the Galt Ghosts wouldn't lose a winnable game to the Bluevale Knights on Thursday.The Grade 12 G/F poured in 41 points --- for the second time this WCSSAA season --- as the Ghosts defeated the Bluevale Knights 71-58 at home.
Lost in the spectacle of Lall's monster effort was a pretty solid game by BCI's Garrett Large, as he had 29 points himself.
Here's the rest of the action from Thursday:
