Brampton Warriors Battle to the Wire at the Prestigious YAAACE Tourney! |
 |
| Probably the most prestigious tournament at the Major Bantam age in OBA's took place this weekend and, it was indeed a classic!!! This tourney showcased 8 of the Top 10 teams in the province and it was a preview of what will take place in London in April! The finals had the two top teams in Ontario square off at Downsview S.S where the Brampton Warrior #1 clawed it out with home team YAAACE. Btown came out as the victors in the dying seconds, pulling off 57-56 win infront of a jammed packed gymnasium. The one point victory really speaks for itself as both teams showed all weekend long why they are the top dogs at this age level, but the competition all weekend wasn't easy, with the likes of Can 6, St Davids, and the Scarborugh Blues, for these teams to contend with. The two teams know are split, 1-1 but Brampton showed all weekend that they wanted to win this and prevailed with the 1 point victory. MVP of the tournament was 5'10, Mr Intensity, Ty-Stewart Nelson for the Brampton Warriors. Conratulations to Coach Mark Poyser and the rest of the Btown Boys! Also, congratulations to Coach Devon Thompson and the YAAACE Manz for putting on a spectacular display and a Family Affair of a tournament! By Jason - knowthegame@live.ca February 4, 2010 |
