Always tough to beat those city schools who have a larger roster and deeper bench. We were clearly tired from the amazing overtime win on Friday night against O’Gorman from Timmins.” Stenzl said this bronze medal win was an important medal after two previous years of losing out in the quarterfinals at this tournament. “We exercised that demon and got back to winning medals. … It’s a very proud day.”
