Battle of the Boards II - High Basketball All-Star games -

Battle of the Boards – All-Star Games – March 30, 2011 – Ryerson University

The much anticipated “Battle of the Boards II” is back and even better than before. High school basketballs finest all-star showcase is once again taking place at Ryerson University on March 30, 2011. This years teams include Toronto Catholic School Board, Toronto Public School Board, Peel Region, Durham Region and York Region. Also, included with this group is a team of Independents made up of REDA/Phase 1/Next Level etc.

The Battle Boards has added a Slam Dunk Competition and 3pt shootout.

Please see game times below. Games match ups will be listed very shortly.

4:00pm – Game 1

5:30pm – Game 2

7:00pm – 3pt Shootout and Slam Dunk Competition

8:00pm – Game 3


Don't miss this special night when the best talent will come together on one court. Bragging Rights will be awarded to winning teams!!!

What happened to Halton?

I hope they didn't get shafted for the sake of club teams...

I agree! Wheres Halton?

Wow dis year is going to be interesting my predictions r that peel is winning over durham again if they face, and toronto public forsure is winning over the catholic. Since halton isnt in it who is york region going to face Or i guess thier doing it differently this year they even included players from the prep schools

Im sorry but Peel will not beat Durham. The top players from Richardson, Anderson, and Pickering, plus the two boys from Dunbarton will beat Peel this year. Peel has Shaq, Dylan, Richard, Alex, Ashton after that it gets pretty thin everyone else is too young to compete with the seasoned Durham squad.

Unless Halton chose to get involved with a different event (e.g. a Hamilton-based one), their exclusion at the expense of a prep squad is a slap in the face.

If the Durham team doesn't play hard, then they will lose like they did to Peel last year. Durham will have plenty of talent, however, they can't go through the motions and just show up. Durham can potentially put out a line up of Agunwa Okolie(the best keep secret in Durham..a legit 6ft-7 power forward), Dyshawn Pierre, Aaron Redpath, Justin Edwards and Jamal Reynolds. That is a super talented line up with size and athleticism at every spot! However, can they actually play well together...that remains to be seen. There is still guys like Damion Rashford, Jevon Jacobs, Asher Tulloch-Lewis, Tyrell Samuels and also G.L. Roberts has a few guys. Durham looks really good on paper...however like my man Chris Berman says, "That's why they play the game!"

and also Leon Alexander

durham will be the best team
york region will have pangos and wiggins ... prolly 2 best high school players IN Canada

Yeah! You're right. I did forget about Leon Alexander.....a little oversight..LOL

I agree with Ballo however....Durham looks like they have the best team on paper....but York definitely has the two best players in the event so they might actually have an edge over all the other regional teams. It will be interesting to see how they match up the teams this year. This year I think that the York team should be in the feature or late game.

Halton was invited but is not able to attend a due to a scheduling conflict. The game match ups are below.....and yes, Durham vs. York will be a great ending to an incredible night of hoops.

4:00pm – Peel Region vs. Toronto Catholic

5:30pm – Toronto Public vs Independents(REDA/Phase 1/Next Level etc)

7:00pm – Slam Dunk Competition and 3pt shootout

8:00pm – York Region vs. Durham Region

DAM! Durham vs. York in the late game....who would have ever thought a few years back that a game between these two regions would be something noteworthy.

Let me guess: a few Loyola players can't make it and they consider the entire region of Halton "unavailable"?

Well I still predict peel is coming on top and if durham does beat them which most people do predict because of thier success this year and the talent they have compared to last year , then its not going to be a blowout win probably a tight one. But well see...

According to the schedule, Peel is playing against Toronto Catholic(Henry Carr, MT, Pope John etc.) at 4pm. Durham is playing against York at 8pm. TrueTalkz50..unless they meet in an exhibition game, they won't be facing each other at all this time.

Oh alright rerun .... Toronto catholic is taking this one forsure then but most of the players are probably going to be represented by 3 or 4 schools in toronto catholic.

what are the rosters for each team?

Great to see ryerson with the initiative to run this but please do it right.

Post each team's rosters so we can see which kids are participating. We always seem to drop the ball on promotion here in Canada.

Rosters will be released later tonight as we await final confirmation from the regions who select the teams.
