From an article on The Hoop-La:
One thing is for sure this year in the high school ranks and that's that the OFSAA title is up for grabs with no definitive one team favoured to take it. For my money, I'd have to go with one of the teams that have shown the most consistency this season which is either Father Henry Carr, Loyola, Pickering, JC Richardson or Oakwood. We may get a preview as to who exactly has the edge heading into the playoffs as someone in Toronto is organizing a basketball tourney to fundraise for earthquake-ravaged Haiti. It will take place in a couple of weeks and will bring the best GTA teams together to play it out. Hopefully the organizers give the Oakwood Barons an invite as the one knock on them is that they don't play in enough Toronto-area tournaments and that when they do, they get exposed as they did at the St. Mike's Invitational. I'm not from that school of thought, anyone can have a bad weekend, but I can understand how one could wonder if they were truly a contender when well into the second half of the season, they have yet to go head-to-head against either Father Henry Carr, Pickering, JC Richardson or Loyola.
