Congrats to SJAM Boys’ Basketball – Dual CWOSSA Champs!

Posted February 29, 2016

What a banner year for SJAM’s boys’ basketball teams!  Dual WCSSAA championships last week were just the beginning.  This past weekend, both teams put in amazing performances at CWOSSA at WCI and SJAM.

On Saturday afternoon, the juniors battled St. Mary’s in the finals and struggled early.  Falling behind by as much as 17 points, the team drained 6 3-pointers in a row to chip away at the lead and pull ahead in the 4th quarter.  In front of a hyped home-town crowd, the juniors posted an incredible come-from-behind victory!

The seniors took the court immediately after, riding a wave of excitement and a string of dominant victories during the tournament.  Facing off against cross-town rivals WCI, SJAM pulled ahead early and never looked back as they charged towards their second consecutive CWOSSA title.  The senior Highlanders now head to Windsor March 7th to 9th for their second trip to OFSAA in as many years.  Best of luck!
