Coach Clement, been a minute since I've been on the board, but I just want to say that Senator O'Connor's Junior team has had a very successful season. They're 20-2 record, may not speak volumes but they're play overall this year has been steady and progressive through every game. Both losses were suffered by #6 Mother Theresa by 5 and #8 PJP2 by 1! Led by a solid threesome in guard Kareem South, point guard Oshea Gairey and forward Justis Hamil, they managed to pull off they're biggest victory yet defeating a tough #6 Mother Theresa squad in an OT Thriller today for the playoffs! Great job by Coach Lily and Dizzio and all the boys. Next stop TDCAA Semi-Finals!

Full marks to Senator O'Connor for the win! I hope my kids didn't underestimate them. I know I didn't.

All three of the above had great games in particular the Hamil kid who dominated the boards at both ends. Kareem had 30 and Oshea hit some big shots. They are a well-coached and disciplined team!

It was a chess match with their coaches and they came up with a couple of things that we could not answer in the heat of competition. In sport there is always a winner and a loser - we came out on the wrong end of this one!

Best of luck to Senator O'Connor in the semis! They are a good team!

Coach, I couldn't agree with you more! And you yourself have done a great job with your young fellas! Malik Skeete, Jalen King and several other kids, give MT a solid future and will keep the legacy going. Kareem South has been a scoring machine all year, Oshea Gairey has been one of the best playmakers in the division and Justis Hamil is showing some progress, especially in the last few games. Both games this year against OCS and MT where down to the wire scenario's and make the game, like you stated, highly competitive! Thank you for doing what you do Coach Bob! We still have 2 more possible games to go, and I want OCS, the whole team, to take this game as incentive, because the challenge that comes up next, will not be an easy feat!

I am proud of the way my team has performed this year. We had many things to overcome including the loss of many kids who could have helped our team tremendously.

During the early season, we lost at least three kids who could have been starters or at worst key rotation players. Some of these kids are potentially among the top players in the GTA. It was very frustrating to have these kids in the school but not able to play on our team because of various issues.

Still all credit to the kids who were on the court and did a great job of representing their school. Like myself they had to deal with many distractions and still managed to play through! For all of this I am very proud of this special group of players.
