I predict that there will be a new champ this year. Carr will not win....

Pools B and C are both groups of death..... No easy games at all.....

The Henry Carr Crusaders hope to host the toughest high school tournament every year. This field is definitely the strongest we have had.

So Prime Time, besides predicting Carr's demise...why dont you predict who you think will win this prestigious event?

Henry Carr Basketball,

I predict one of the few teams who have brought their core from last year... St. Mikes or dYouville.

The tournament begins tomorrow... Any predictions???

Wow... According to the NPH rankings... The number 1 (St. Mary's) and number 2/3 (dYouville) in the nation are playing each other tomorrow....  But both these teams also have to play the 18th ranked team Eastern commece first.... Tough draw for these three teams....

Pool C also has three tough games... St. Mikes should win both of their games... But, games will be close... Hopefully, I can sneak out to catch some of these games....

Eastern Commerce 63 - d'Youville 56
Thornlea 42 - Henry Carr 27
Eastern Commerce 82 - St Mary's (Kitchener) 54

Henry Carr 54 - Holy Trinity (Oakville) 48

Henry Carr 54 - Holy Trinity (Oakville) 48
d'Youville 58 - St Mary's (Kitchener) 51

Thornlea 62 - Holy Trinity (Oakville) 57

I don't think many people predicted Eastern and Thornlea to be 2-0 after yesterday. Congrats to both teams. Today is going to be another day full of great games.
