Boys Basketball (AAA)
Saltfleet finished as the fourth best team at the OFSAA AAA championship after two heartbreaking overtime losses to close the tournament.  In the championship semifinal game this morning, No. 3 West Humber CI (Etobicoke) came from behind to edge the Storm 59-57 in overtime.  That set up an all Hamilton bronze medal game between Cathedral HS and Saltfleet. The game was a back-and-forth affair with Cathedral earning a narrow 85-81 overtime victory over the Storm.  Saltfleet’s Darnell Curtin and Nicola Djogo each posted 24 points in the bronze medal game.
