It was certainly an interesting day yesterday in WCSSAA Senior Boys' basketball.I'm not talking about the winners and losers, as all of the teams that were significantly favoured posted wins as expected.
The interesting thing was the balanced scoring that we saw across the league.
In fact, among the 8 games, the day's leading scorer (Simon Petrov of SJAM) had just 17 points. I've been doing this blog for a while, and I can't remember a game date (8 games) where there wasn't at least one 20-point scorer.
Several low-scoring games, a couple of blowouts (starters not seeing heavy minutes), and, of course, balanced attacks by teams that did play all combined to play a factor.
Four teams are still undefeated after Tuesday's action.
KCI got a bit of a push from Glenview Park on the road, but improved to 3-0 with a 49-37 win, backed by 11 points each from Stefan Simic and David Ben-Lomotey.
Eastwood didn't hit the 70-point mark for the first time in league play, but still scored 60 in a 60-39 win at Elmira. Cham Ujullu (16) and Emmanuel Malek (15) were the high point men on the day for ECI.
SJAM, behind the aforementioned 17 from Petrov and 11 by Nino Spasik, posted a 69-40 win at Preston.
Forest Heights also continued their winning ways, dominating their home opener in a 60-38 win over Galt. Edwin Antwi's 16 and Rakesh Arjun's 13 (including a couple of dunks) were among the Trojan highlights.
