Dropped from previous week: Assumption (4) and Father Goetz (

wow Assumption (4) dropped off wat happened to them?

Assumption lost in the Halton Catholic playoffs. Their season is done!

So much for all the hype. The controversy around this team kept tongues wagging in Halton and area for the entire season.
Very entertaining...

I believe Assumption lost to Holy Trinity....is that right....and what happened , who is wining Halton?.......was Assumption 3A? or 4A?..........also wat is Holy Trinity declared at?

Assumption lost to HT in OT by about 8 pts. They are both quad A and that was the qualifier for the Halton rep.
Assumption is a AAA school that declared up. It didn't matter as Loyola is AAA and Assumption didn't make it past them in the Halton semi finals.

Holy Trinity plays Hamilton St. Thomas More for the ofsaa quad A GHAC berth.
That game is this friday night at 8:00 at Holy Trinity

ABSOLUTELY!

I find it completely laughable, but sad at the same time. The kids on the Assumption team that were recruited away from their neighbourhood schools are now done and are watching their former school teams move on past them. They should have stayed where they were!
