In the opening, elimination round, held in Kingston: …………………………………………………… The top-seeded Oakville St. Ignatius of Loyola Hawks edged the 11th-seeded London Oakridge Oaks 70-65 in overtime after leading 20-14, 32-23 and 45-40 at the quarters. The score was knotted at 58 after regulation. Adam Presutti paced the Hawks with 16. Mikeal Andrews added 15, Rohan Boney 11, Troy Stevenson 11 and Zachary Colangelo 3, while Daniel Dyrda, Paulo Militar, Alex Cenedese, Tomas Rickus and Roberto Rivas were scoreless. Peter Scholtes paced the Oaks with 31. Ubong Umoh added 23, Michael Awadalla Shalaby 7, Tyler O’Shea 2 and Ben Shantz 2, while John Butkus, Andrew Chelladurai, Mike Choja, Tristan Duffy, Sasha Kanda and Kyle Richards were scoreless. “We played them last year (at OFSAA) and they beat us,” Loyola coach Gary Laurin said. “They weren’t an 11th seed. That’s the nice thing about our team. If one guy is not playing someone else is there. They encourage one another. No matter who scores, it’s still a team victory. The kids are good with that because the scoring is so well distributed.” The Oaks led by one in the extra session with 40 seconds left. “But then there’s a loose ball and their coach calls for a timeout and he gets it. How can you call for a timeout when you don’t have possession?” Oaks coach John Curcio asked, somewhat rhetorically. “They score, we get a good look on our next possession but don’t score, and then we have to foul them to stop the clock.” Curcio admitted the Oaks’ seeding didn’t sit well with them. “That’s a good question,” he said when asked why they were as low as 11th. “It’s a question I raised with the conveners and a number of other coaches brought it up to me at the coaches meeting. Three quarterfinals and a semifinal the last four years should count for something. The good thing is the fraternity of coaches know.” The Oaks got excellent ball distribution from guard Mike Shalaby. “As a coach you’re never happy with moral victories,” Curcio said. “I’m not big on them. But after the game I was so pleased with their focus. They were already over it and they know we can play with anybody. We didn’t mind playing the No. 1 seed. We didn’t play scared, we just started off slowly.” …………………………………………………… The 6th-seeded Newmarket Dr. John M. Denison Huskies whipped the 16th-seeded Lindsay I.E. Weldon Wildcats 54-31 after leading 14-5, 25-13 and 44-26 at the quarters. Kevin Pangos paced the Huskies with 17.

Satar Wahidi paced the Patriots with 18. Taylor Black added 14, Wasse Wahidi 12, Carlin McLean 8, Aleksandar Vrakela 3, Faruk Golotic 2, Juigraj Thind 2 and Matthew Kit 1, while Omair Lone, Ian Assing, James Klemp and Spencer MacDougall were scoreless. Patriots coach Jim MacDonald told the Hamilton Spectator that the Blues are “extremely quick and pressed the heck out of us. But they didn’t have an inside presence. We broke their press and we made them pay for it. We also had success going inside to Taylor (Black) and Satar (Wahidi).” Kwame Asiedu paced the Blues with 16. Levon Dabbaghian added 10, Tyrell Elliston 7, Kyle Mullen 5, Ryan Dinos 2 and Nathaniel Bezahegn 2, while Kevin Bakaly, Michael John Manansala, Joseph Zupo, Kent Mendoza, Shawn Joseph, Nicolas Moya, Jeremeh Novis and Derrick Allahyarian were scoreless. …………………………………………………… The 10th-seeded Kingston Frontenac Falcons stunned the 4th-seeded Toronto Jarvis Bulldogs 39-36. Frontenac led 16-11 after one quarter. Jarvis led 26-24 at the half and 28-26 after three quarters. Spencer Lambert paced the Falcons with 11.

Blake Hayley added 10, Peter Dupuis 8, Alec Brunelle 4, Rohan Mead 3 and Russell Fox 2, while Daniel Gemmell, James Moreau, Jesse Robichaud, Andy Banciu, Derrick Stobbs and Justin DeGuglielmo were scoreless. The Trojans broke an 8-0 lead and romped. “It was a good start to the tournament,” Trojans coach Todd Andrew said. “It’s a good experience for the guys. This is a top-notch facility and since it’s their first time being here, it’s probably a little awe-inspiring for them. But the guys settled down and had a good game.” With the Trojans getting into foul trouble during the middle portion of the game, the Thunder began to chip away at the lead. Despite that, the Trojans seemed to have an answer and responded quickly. After getting back the lead with a minute to go in the third quarter, the Trojans didn’t look back. “A lot of teams look at our size and see what we can do offensively,” Andrew said. “But one of the least talked about things is our defence. The guys have done a great job defending all season and, in this game, it was no different.” Although the Thunder did generate some momentum, Andrew said he was happy with the way his team responded. “We had good composure down the stretch,” Andrew said. “I think they felt a bit of the pressure of being a higher seed and didn’t want to get upset. They protected the basketball well and knocked down their shots.” Dickens especially played well, going 9-10 from the line.
In the second, elimination round: …………………………………………………… The top-seeded Oakville St. Ignatius of Loyola Hawks stomped the 16th-seeded Lindsay I.E.

Zachary Lockhart added 9, James Cruikshanks 3, Dylan Howe 2 and Jordan Fountain 2, while John Stirrett-Wood, William Boyd, Thomas Oostveen, Harry Hughes and Gavin Fiddler were scoreless. …………………………………………………… The 8th-seeded Ottawa Sir Robert Borden Bengals dumped the 9th-seeded Windsor Riverside Secondary Rebels 54-44 after leading 18-11 after one quarter and 25-22 at the half. Riverside led 37-34 after three quarters. Jamal Aden paced the Bengals with 18. Amir Majidi added 12, Nikola Misljencevic 8, Amin Majidi 6, Olayiwola Ogungbemile 6 and Calin Deguefe 4, while Dean Marjanovic, Stephen Kwai, James Morrice, Stefan Veletic, Milan Vukovic, James Li, Mato Stivicic, Joel Thompson, Harrison Freeman and Farhan Awaleh were scoreless. Markus Pelger paced the Rebels with 12. Ratko Repac added 10, Igor Stjepanovic 8, Nicholas Tufegdzich 8, Danny Tsadik 4 and Keifer Broughton 2, while Richard Meloche, Calwin French, Aric Kailer, Alex Mong, Todor Bruic, Luke Chittim, Nenad Preradovic and Victor Zehan were scoreless. …………………………………………………… The 5th-seeded Stoney Creek Orchard Park Patriots stomped the 12th-seeded North Bay West Ferris Trojans 77-50 after leading 18-7, 36-19 and 51-33 at the quarters. Taylor Black paced the Patriots with 14. Wasse Wahidi added 13, Faruk Golotic 13, Satar Wahidi 13, Carlin McLean 8, Ian Assing 6, Jugraj Thind 5, Omair Lone 3 and James Klemp 2, while Mathew Kit, Spencer MacDougall and Aleksandar Vrakela were scoreless. Charles Hancock paced the Trojans with 17. Cole Addley added 15, Samuel Levac 11, Jake Tougas 3, Brady Facette 2 and Detlev Himmelman 2, while Spencer Brear, Christopher Kangur, Joey Puddister, Curtis Devlin and Steven Thomas were scoreless. …………………………………………………… The 10th-seeded Kingston Frontenac Falcons smothered the 13th-seeded Midland St. Theresa’s Thunder 41-24. St. Theresa’s led 10-8 after one quarter. Frontenac led 22-17 at the half and 30-20 after three quarters. Matt Baker paced the Falcons with 16. Spencer Lambert added 11, David Beecher 7, Matthew Ferguson 4 and Marshall Ferguson 3, while Mike Bracken, Dan Bui, Zachary Rasmussen, Mason Patterson, Jordan Norris, Matthew McEatheron, Jordie McAuley, Spencer Lanthier, Echo Chan and Tavis Knox were scoreless. Alec Brunelle led the Thunder with 7, Thomas Johnston added 6, Peter Dupuis 6, Rohan Mead 3 and Russell Fox 2, while Daniel Gemmell, James Moreau, Jesse Robichaud, Andy Banciu, Blake Hayley, Derrick Stobbs and Justin DeGuglielmo were scoreless. …………………………………………………… The 6th-seeded Newmarket Dr. John M. Denison Huskies flattened the 11th-seeded London Oakridge Oaks 55-44. Oakridge led 16-11, 25-22 and 35-32 at the quarters. Kevin Pangos paced the Huskies with 22. Brendan Pringle added 21, Kyle Hak 6, Kurtis Gabriel 4 and Zac Marcelline 2, while Steve Martin, Aaron Sutton, Mark Perrone, Ryan Napoleone and Brayden Gohn were scoreless. Michael Awadalla Shalaby paced the Oaks (coached by John Curcio, assisted by Dino Fotia and Angelo Provenzano) with 16. Peter Scholtes added 12, Ubong Umoh 8, Ben Shantz 4, Kyle Richards 2 and Tyler O’Shea 2, while John Butkus, Andrew Chelladurai, Mike Choja, Brian Choja, Tristan Duffy, Damon O’Shea, Tyler O’Shea and Sasha Kandu were scoreless. “The score wasn’t indicative of the game,” said Oaks coach John Curcio. When Peter Scholtes went out of the game with the Oaks down three, it proved costly as the Bears then hit a three to double their lead and Oakridge, like Beal, was forced to foul to stop the clock. “I’m not disappointed with how the guys played,” Curcio added, “but it’s hard when you see a bunch of 17- and 18-year-olds in the dressing room crying. But that’s what sport is, passion.” As to whether taking top seed Oakville Loyola to overtime in their opener had an effect, Curcio said: “I think it took its toll physically. Because our bench is so young and inexperienced, we’re not deep and our legs went a bit toward the end.” …………………………………………………… The 3rd-seeded Etobicoke Martingrove Bears clubbed the 14th-seeded Cornwall St. Joseph’s Panthers 76-55 after leading 27-13, 41-27 and 53-39 at the quarters. Justin Bakuteka paced the Bears with 20. Matthew Wright added 17, Sukhpreet Singh 10, Troy McDonald 8, Stevan Manojlovic 7, Devon Horsford 6, Amanjit Dhillon 2, Marko Stankic 2, Tevin Forde 2 and Teddy Fordjour 2, while Dujuon Brown, Indervir Dhillon, Abubakar Mohammed, Joseph Kim and Luka Mihailovic were scoreless. Kohlin Rasenberg paced the Panthers with 20.

But Jarvis withstood the threat. Cale McDonald paced the Trojans (coached by Todd Andrew, assisted by Jeff Lowe) with 11. Mark Dickens added 7, Marcus Hamilton 3, Tyler Johnston 3, Mike Dulmage 2 and Dave Eves 2, while Brandon Webster, Brandon Slote, Jason Timms, Evan Murray, Logan Varga, Ian Ballantyne and Jason Hothi were scoreless.
In the quarterfinals, the top-seeded Oakville St. Ignatius of Loyola Hawks crushed the 8th-seeded Ottawa Sir Robert Borden Bengals 70-42 after leading 22-7, 34-20 and 46-31 at the quarters. Michael L’Africain paced the Hawks with 20. Rohan Boney added 15, Troy Stevenson 10, Adam Presutti 10, Mikeal Andrews 5, Zachary Colangelo 3, Paulo Militar 3, Tomas Rickus 2 and Daniel Dyrda 2, while Alex Cenedese and Roberto Rivas were scoreless. Jamel Aden paced the Bengals (coached by Dan Case, assisted by Pat Kirkham and Pat Boulin) with 16.

The Orchard Park Patriots pitched a shutout in the first quarter. The Pats held the Frontenac Falcons scoreless. “They had a difficult time with our half-court defence and match-up zone,” Orchard Park coach Jim McDonald said. “It was beautiful. They hardly got a shot off. We beat the hometown team. It was frantic, loud and annoying. They are a very tenacious, scrappy team.”
The 3rd-seeded Etobicoke Martingrove Bears clubbed the 6th-seeded Newmarket Dr. John M. Denison Huskies 61-42 after leading 16-11, 29-21 and 41-30 at the quarters.

Loyola led by three points with 14 seconds and had the ball. But Orchard Park stole the ball and banked in a three-pointer to tie the game. Loyola then missed a layup and fouled the Patriots, who made both to take a two-point lead. With just five seconds left, Loyola got the ball back and put it in the hands of Adam Presutti, who got the ball in the middle of the key and hit a jumper for the most important of his 31 points, sending the game to overtime. Loyola pressured their opponents in the extra period, forced turnovers and went on a run, outscoring them 14-6. Patriots coach Jim Macdonald told the Hamilton Spectator that Presutti notched a “desperation” shot to force overtime. “Their point guard dribbled the length of the floor and somehow got the ball back to him. It was from just inside the foul line. That team was everything we thought they would be.”

The score was knotted at 23 at the half. Martingrove led 39-34 after three quarters. Troy McDonald paced the Bears with 16.

Late in the fourth, the Hawks found themselves down 54-51. Boney drained a three-pointer to tie the score with eight seconds left. The Bears called time-out to diagram a play, and they managed to get a shot off but it rimmed off and Martingrove grabbed the rebound. “It was a very successful season,” said Loyola coach Gary Laurin. “Right now, it’s hard to look back and enjoy the season when you lose a game that tight on the buzzer. Maybe in a couple of months we’ll be able to enjoy what we accomplished. For us, it was a great tournament. It’s not the finish we wanted but the silver medal is great. I’m very proud. They left everything on the floor.”
