It may still be a bit early to think about the boys' basketball season, with most of the fall sports (boys volleyball, football, and girls' basketball) still ongoing.Don't tell that to the St. Mary's Eagles, as the projected preseason CWOSSA Senior Boys' #1 team will travel to Toronto tomorrow to participate in the prestigious Father Henry Carr Nike Early Bird Classic.
Obviously, there are no slouches at this event, and the Eagles are in one of the three-team pools with D'Youville (Brampton) and Eastern Commerce (Toronto).
The participants are as follows:
Pool A: Henry Carr (Toronto), Thornlea, Holy Trinity (Oakville)
Pool B: d'Youville (Brampton), Eastern Commerce, St. Mary's (Kitchener)
Pool C: Vaughan, St. Mike's (Toronto), Bishop Reding (Milton)
Pool D: Cardinal Newman (Hamilton), Mother Teresa (Scarborough), Campion (Brampton)
The Eagles will play both of their games tomorrow, at 4:30pm vs. Eastern Commerce and then a quick turnaround at 7:30pm against D'Youville.
Should they finish 1st or 2nd in the pool, they'll advance to Saturday play. First-place finishers advance to the semifinals, while 2nd place teams will advance to the consolation semifinals.
