As you probably already know by now, the St. Mary's Eagles staged a massive fourth quarter comeback to take out the Brampton D'Youville Panthers 58-56 in the Silver Fox championship final on Saturday evening.In the process, the Eagles became the first CWOSSA team since 1983 (Cameron Heights) to win the prestigious tournament.
The Eagles, who trailed by 17 points in the fourth quarter, rallied and got a basket from Jamari Stephenson with 4 seconds to play to win the game.
Adham Eleeda led the way for SMHS with an 18-point effort, while Stephenson was named as the tournament MVP as well as the top defensive player.
Tesloth Simon, who scored 27 (vs. Bishop Reding) and 30 (vs. St. Francis) was also named as a tournament all-star.
I'd suggest that the Eagles will find themselves in the "top ten" of NorthPoleHoops.com's next "top 25" ranking. Over the weekend, St. Mary's (who entered at #17), defeated #23 Bishop Reding (58-50), #6 St. Francis (70-61), #16 Saltfleet (61-47) and #10 D'Youville.
