Player of the game Jadwey Hemmings “stepped up and showed why he’s our best all-around player,” Hawks coach Darrell Glenn told The Coven.

The game was right down to the wire and with 4.5 seconds left in the game when Leng Yeang hit a shot plus the foul; Yeang hit his free throw to take the lead by three. The Saints pressured the inbounds pass allowing Holness to get open and hit the game tying three. In overtime, the disappointment of the game tying three took the air out of the St. Clair Saints.

In the second half, the Thunder came out strong to take a quick lead but at the 13-minute mark Sheridan managed to tie the game.

The contest went back and forth for most of the game. The halftime score was 34-33 for the Vikings. The game continued to be a two point see-saw until the 6-minute mark when St. Lawrence opened up a 10-point lead. Humber seemed out of sync and hesitant on offense for the next few minutes. But, in the last few minutes Humber made a run with some aggressive play to get back within three; however, it was too little too late as the clock ran out of time. “We were tight,” Hawks coach Darrell Glenn told The Coven. “That’s the way we were the night before and we never really shook that. I remember Chris (Thompson) saying to me after the first game that he was nervous the whole game – that’s a little unusual … We got out-hustled. I would have rather lost knowing we had played our best game. I don’t think they played the Humber team that (we’ve) been all year.” Kerlon Cadougan said “we should have won that game. We were too amped up against those guys.”
In the other semi, the 2nd-seeded Fanshawe
Falcons whipped the 3rd-seeded Algonquin Thunder 77-60. Pat Sewell paced

To start the game, Fanshawe took an early 23-9 lead but Algonquin hung around
thanks to their press bringing it back within 7 points. Algonquin struggled offensively
and had to rely on the three-point shot to keep them in the game. The Falcons led
the half 40-32. Fanshawe took control in the second half with their up-tempo
offense, quick ball movement, and tight defensive zone that Algonquin was
unable to match in intensity. It was unbelievable three-point shooting from
both teams as they exchanged three pointer for three pointer down the stretch
to make for an exciting finish.
In the bronze medal match, the
top-seeded Humber Hawks clipped the 3rd-seeded Algonquin Thunder 62-52. The
bronze medal marked Humber’s 17th consecutive medal. They won nine gold medals,
five silver medals and two bronze medals over the 17-year stretch. Kerlon

5 assists, 20 turnovers, 2 blocks and 11 steals. Hawks assistant Chris Cheng
told The Coven that the team was “a little disappointed” with winning bronze. “We
didn’t accomplish the goal we wanted to accomplish.” Guard Kerlon Cadougan said
“we came up short. But it’s all right, that’s how it is.” Hawks coach Darrell
Glenn said nerves played a major factor. “It was a lot for some of our guys to
carry. For many of them it was their first time being in this experience, and with
being asked as much as we (the coaches) were asking for from this young team.” Hawks
assistant Chris Cheng said “this game is always hard to play, because you
really have the mindset toward one goal. But we stayed positive.” The Hawks led
29-28 at the half.
In the gold medal final, the 2nd-seeded Fanshawe Falcons defeated the 5th-seeded St. Lawrence-Kingston Vikings 71-65. The Falcons were undefeated during the regular season and capped it with a tourney title, their sixth. Fanshawe took a 34-25 lead at the break. Making an adjustment to break Fanshawe’s zone defense, the Vikings began to chip away at the Falcon lead early in the second half. As the Vikings inched closer, Fanshawe always appeared to have an answer to hold off the surging Vikings. At one point, the Falcons seemed to have sunk the Viking’s ship after a Pat Sewell alley-oop gave them an eight-point lead. With their backs against the wall, St. Lawrence stormed back with a run of their own to tie the score at 58 points apiece with three minutes remaining. The teams continued their see-saw battle, when Jabari Cooper of the Falcons hit a clutch three-pointer to give the Falcons the lead that they would not relinquish.
