In their opener, Canada clocked Brazil 82-56. Canada led 20-6 early and 33-13 after one quarter as their pressure defence forced a raft of turnovers leading to runout layups. Despite a generous dollop of sloppy ballhandling, they extended their lead to 49-27 at the half as Delaney Gibb and Cassandre Prosper frequently and effectively broke down the Brazilians off the dribble. The defensive intensity abated and the bench began jacking-up ill-advised shots as Brazil rallied within 17 before Canada re-inserted several starters and rebuilt the lead to 67-45 after three quarters. The bench essentially played the Brazilians to a draw in the final frame. “This is definitely a really great start against a really big team,” said coach Cheryl Jean-Paul. “We were executing well on both offence and defence. I think we were playing really well together and did the right things to get a big lead in the first half. … I thought we did a great job at pushing the tempo today and I’m just really excited. We want the little moments to grow into bigger moments, which I know we’ll do as we get more comfortable playing together.” Cassandre Prosper paced Canada with 24 on 9-13 from the floor, 1-2 from the arc, 3-6 from the line, 9 boards, 4 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks.

Canada improved to (2-0) by dusting Costa Rica 112-25. Despite a sluggish start and a periodic tendency to pass the ball to imaginary teammates, Canada took a 24-8 lead after one quarter primarily by attacking off the dribble for uncontested layups. Canada extended its lead to 49-15 at the half by repeatedly generating runout layups off Costa Rican turnovers. The starters ignited a 29-0 run in the third quarter and Canada took an 86-17 lead heading into the final frame. Needless to say, Costa Rica never threatened. “This team has been really unselfish with the ball – it’s been so great to see a lot of movement,” said coach Cheryl Jean-Paul. “We just want keep building off this win. … “Every team here plays a little bit differently both offensively and defensively which forces us to stay sharp – so we are looking forward to another challenge tomorrow.

Canada closed out pool play undefeated by thrashing Puerto Rico 102-50. Although Puerto Rico repeatedly broke the press early for transition buckets, Canada began forcing turnovers with their pressure and Bree Robinson hit a trio from beyond the arc as the Canadians took a 29-18 lead after one quarter. Delaney Gibb notched a pair of treys and drove the baseline for a bucket, while Canada took command of the offensive boards, as they extended their lead to 56-25 at the half and then 84-42 after three quarters. “This was a great team win today,” said coach Cheryl Jean-Paul. “The team really stepped up and responded to the challenges that we gave them. … We had a few different defensive schemes that we tried which gave us some really good opportunities to transition and score.” Bree Robinson said “we were really working well as a team, distributing the ball well and really showing our chemistry. We are getting more confident and getting to know each other better each day and each game and that’s going to show on the court moving forward.” Canada Basketball then reported that Canada would face the Group B winner in the quarterfinals.

Sta Maria set the tone early by pilfering the ball for a runout and then setting Prosper in the paint for an and-one as Canada ripped off a 25-2 run to start the second half. Chile finally notched their first field goal of the quarter with 39 seconds to play but trailed 64-25 heading into the final frame. Although Canada’s play in the final quarter was marked by sloppy ballhandling, Chile went scoreless in the frame before the clock mercifully expired. “Today was a little bit rough to start but we found our way but we gritted it out,” said coach Cheryl Jean-Paul. “This group has just continued to fight for each other and I think that showed in their opportunities today that they kept creating for each other.” Cassendre Prosper paced Canada with 21 on 8-18 from the floor, 0-1 from the arc, 5-7 from the line, 16 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

In the semis, Canada clubbed Argentina 74-47. Canada opened with a 10-0 run, including a trio of paint buckets from Jada Bediako and later notched an 11-0 run, ignited by a trey and a runout from Delaney Gibb, as they took a 25-10 lead after one quarter. In the brutal, and brutally-officiated second quarter, Argentina appeared incapable of sharing the ball, while Canada seemed incapable of finishing putbacks off offensive boards. But Canada took a 36-16 lead heading into the lockers on aggressive takes by Gibb and Taija Sta Maria. Bediako hit a pair of buckets in the blocks before being whistled for being too stationary on defence and being forced to the bench with her third foul. Prosper hit a 15-foot baseline jumper and a putback, and Gibb found Bediako for a layup with a beautiful feed and then notched an and-one as Canada took a 54-31 after the altogether uninspired third quarter, in which both teams appeared tired and lethargic. Kiera Pemberton and Marina Radocaj each notched a trio of buckets as Canada buried Argentinian hopes early in the final frame and coasted to the easy win. “We started off with a lot of defensive pressure and got a lot of steals and transition lay-ups and moving the ball really well,” said Marina Radocaj. Coach Cheryl Jean-Paul said “we’re still finding ways to get the job done and I think that’s the importance piece – we are on our way to the gold medal game.” Jada Bediako paced Canada with 14 on 7-15 from the floor, 0-3 from the line and 5 boards.

In the gold medal match, the United States smote Canada 118-45. Canada appeared incapable of defending the paint, while repeatedly and nervously coughing up the ball against American pressure during a mid-quarter 11-0 run, as the United States took a 25-13 lead after the first frame. It was all over by the half as the Americans dominated the defensive boards and repeatedly broke down Canada in transition to take a 56-25 into the lockers. The United States opened the second half with an 8-0 run and then poured on the aggressive pressure as they extended their lead to 87-35 after three quarters. The Americans took their largest lead, at 73, with a layup in the final seconds of play. Canada Basketball’s report on the gold medal match? “MEXICO (August 30, 2021) – Both Canada’s Men’s and Women’s U16 National Teams have secured podium finishes at the FIBA U16 Americas and FIBA U16 Women’s Americas Championships.
