A Week Later

In High School Basketball by Brock Bourgase

Mother Teresa won Ontario’s 4A Senior Boys Basketball title. Last week, they lost their conference title to Father Henry Carr and it seemed to be like they may have trouble handling a team with a lot of size. Nevertheless, Teresa possibly had the two best players in the field – Justin Dennis (Justin has been one of my favourite players to watch during the past few years) and Papa Oppong – and they excelled in the final rounds. Many games were close, especially a 31-30 round of sixteen game against Toronto Northern. Northern starts a 6-8 centre, Andrew Pennycook, who made the Toronto Star’s G.T.A. All-Star Team.

Teresa may not have been the best team from October to March but they were consistent, experienced, skilled, and performed on demand, under pressure, at O.F.S.A.A..
