Update: Our 8A Game Results

I just want to give an update on our 8A team's game this afternoon against OLG. The team blasted OLG, 42-9. It was a no-contest from tip-off to the final buzzer. The referees had to warn our team against running fast breaks. One basket was even nullified because it was scored off a fast break. They wanted us to make multiple passes before even attempting a shot. That's CYO for you.

This improves our team's record to 6-1. But what's more interesting was that St. Anne lost to Our Lady of the Rosary (OLR) by a just a point in the last 5 seconds of their game, 43-42. Their game was played before ours so I was able to watch the last 5 minutes of it. I was cheering for OLR, and I didn't hide it. We have a vested interest in their defeat, so I will not apologize for that.

With St. Anne's loss, our boys move up to first place, while St. Anne settled for second, with a 5-2 win-loss record. I know St. Anne was hurt with that loss. Back-to-back losses, as a matter of fact. Sad way to start the new year, I suppose. This improves OLR's record to 3-3.

Our team beat OLR during the first outing in November, 48-38. We also beat them at the consolation championship game during the St. Bede Christmas tournament. We know how they play. So when we meet them again in the second round, all we need to do is to be careful and avoid an upset.

For this final season, it couldn't be any better at this point. Let's go Cougars !!!
