The Junior Prep Boys’ Basketball team went 2-0 this past weekend in Virginia beating the Mount Mission Junior Varsity team by a score of 76-55 and the Oak Hill Academy Junior Varsity team by a score of 65-51. The boys got off to a slow start last Friday against Mount Mission before a huge run to start the fourth quarter put the Lions up 26 points. Elijah Fisher and Matthew Nelsons led the run with several tough baskets inside, while Mikkel Tyne continued his hot shooting from 3pt range from before the break. On Sunday, the boys took on Oak Hill Academy and won for the second straight year at the historic basketball school. Foul trouble caused issues throughout the game, as Elijah Fisher and Mikkel Tyne both fouled out early in the fourth quarter. K’Shawn Latty and Jaden Langley-Thomas were able to provide some big shots and free-throws down the stretch, while Caiden Oshinowo added huge minutes off the bench and two big 3-pointers in the 2nd half. Armani Mighty was a defensive presence late, pulling down several big rebounds. The boys will be back in action on Saturday in Erie, Pennsylvania for the P.O2.NY Showcase.
Hockey
The U-14 Hockey team played a hard fought match against the team from Nichols school Wednesday night, dropping a tough game 5-3. All members of the team showed great hustle and determination, passing and skating the puck with confidence. Jayden Bennett was lights out through the first period and most of the second, making multiple saves in the crease. Phillippe Stroganov showed consistent hard work on the blue line with Eric Chen potting a hat trick for the boys. Good work team, on to the next one!
Wednesday night the Varsity Hockey team traveled to Guelph to take on St. John’s Kilmarnock for their first game of 2018, and the team did not disappoint.
