It's been a while since the Orangeville Bears have tasted a D10 title.In fact, the school itself has gone since 1991 without a basketball title of any kind (1990-91 Junior Boys), while it's been since 1988 for the Junior Girls and since 1984 on the Senior Girls' side.
I would have been in diapers the last time the Senior Boys' won a title, back in 1982.
This year's ODSS junior girls' squad has just one loss on the campaign, a narrow 5-point defeat to two-time defending champ (and first place) Bishop Mac.
Their other 5 games? The Bears have won those by an average margin of 35 points.
Lauren Faullong and Maggie Franz have been pacing the ODSS attack, with both girls averaging 15+ PPG.
Along with being a contender in the D10 circuit, you'd have to figure that the Bears should be among teams in contention for "AAA" CWOSSA.
Senior: Lourdes Knocks Bishop Mac from Unbeaten Ranks
It's shaping up to be an interesting year in D10 Senior Girls' basketball.
After GCVI knocked off Lourdes last week (38-35), it seemed like the Bishop Mac Celtics would have the inside track to the #1 seed if they were able to handle Lourdes on Tuesday.
However, Lourdes' top three scorers -- Jada Codrington, Rainey Psenicka and Jessica Mathieu -- had other ideas, combining for 46 of Lourdes' 56 points en route to a 56-42 win over the visiting Celtics.
Both Lourdes and Bishop Mac are now 5-1 on the season.
GCVI missed a prime opportunity to move into a three-way tie for first, as they dropped to 4-2 with a 39-37 loss at JF Ross. Ali Darling had 15 for JFR, while Abbey MacIntyre netted 12 for the Gaels.
JF Ross sits tied for 4th in the D10 standings at 3-3, which includes a season-opening forfeit to Centennial.
