thanks rimrocker, don't know about you but i can't wait for ofssaa at all levels to begin, keep us updated, i will do the same!

thomson beat york memorial today and will either play jarvis or richview thursday for the city championships. If thomson loses thursday are they out or still play back-door game

The loser of the city final plays the team that lost to the champs in the semi-finals.

ohkay so the winner of the city finals goes to ofsaa and then the loser of the city finals and the team that lost to the champions of citys faces off for the last tdsaa spot in ofsaa

is thomson 3A or 4A?

Thomson is 3A

st marys beat nelson by 6...

First post has been updated.

Thanks Coach..

It would have been nice if General Amhearst moved up to AAA or AAAA since they have won AA the last four years or something like that. They are definately one of the top five teams in the province and they have proven enough at the AA level so they should move up. A ton of posters including myself have stated that Eastern Commerce should move up to AAAA. They won AAA last year and to their credit moved up. This is where the size of school doesn't apply as some of the best teams in the province are smaller schools and general Amhearst has had terrific tournament results this season. I am surprised they didn't attempt to move up. They will walk through AA once again.

Ascension may have something to say about that (if they get past Milton)

General Amhearst has way too much depth.

In a championship game, not sure how much depth you need...having Christine Hyde and Michele Asare on the other hand would be very helpful...that is assuming both teams get there...

Found a few more teams and I corrected some errors on the list.

I just noticed a repetition.

According to a number of posts, West Toronto is in the AA playoffs. However, the official website for A OFSAA lists them as a participant:

Are there no A playoffs and West Toronto is simply playing to fill out the AA line-up? Or is there another explanation?

sossa is not set yet rimrocker for AA, i just read on the hoopla that they have a four team tourney tomorrow in st catharines to decide their reps

West Toronto is definately A so I believe that they are simply filling out the draw and will be the City rep at OFSAA. Oakwood, Downsview and Vaughn Road are all AA.

I guess the original post on The Hoop-la was wrong. The poster must have meant divison 3 and 4, rather than all of SOSSA.

same thing for AAA and for AAAA, AAA sossa starts tonight at simcoe, AAAA i believe it at notre dame in welland, my picks have to be st francis in AA, , simcoe at AAA and westdale at AAAA time will tell

http://www.sossa.on.ca/


this link might explain some of it to those interested

I've always been very frustrated with the SOSSA website. There is plenty of administrative info but I wish they posted more info on standings, scores, playoffs, etc. A couple of conveners use the new message board but many don't.

I guess I'm just spoiled in ROPSSAA.

trust me you have no idea how frustrating it can be, thankfully i know some of the players(coaches), if i can help i will, a lot of the teams should be decided today and tonight, i will post as soon as i know the scores

btw you are right the site is horrible to say the least heres one that may help a bit

St. Mary's 41, Applewood Heights 32

We threw everything we had..up 6 at the half..but they held us to 5 points in the second half..tremendous defense and timely shooting and we did not respond...great game...our fans were awesome..I wish St. Mary's the best of luck at AAA OFSAA!!

Ascension-79 Milton 40. Wasn't such an interesting game was it????

Rimrocker, you have a real grasp of other regions around Ontario.

Is it a given that Ascension will have the #1 seed at AA OFSAA?

As far as I know, a Peel team has NEVER won a basketball provincial championship. I know that the Goetz girls' came close and that the old Malton Westwood boys' teams medalled - can you confirm this?
