With playoffs just around the corer, B.R.'s sports teams are all play- ing hard as their regular seasons come to a close. Recently, B.R.'s Senior Boys' Basketball team face Si. Thomas Aquinas in their last game of the regular season play on Monday. The teai played well and had an exciting finish to their season. With three seconds left in the final quarter, the team trailed by two points but unfortunately missed both free throw shots that would have tied the game. The guys boast a record of seven wins and two losses, and are tied for second place as they start the playoffs. Good luck boys. The Junior Boys' Basketball team clinched a playoff berth with a convincing 73-36 win against T.A. Blakelock last Wednesday. They showed solid defense and a balanced attack, as 12 players hit the score sheet. The teain also participated in the Resurrection Invitational Tournament in Kitchener this past weekend. The boys won three of their four games, with their only loss coming in a heartbreaker to Our Lady of Lourdes from Guelph. They were then able te bounce back and win the Consolation Championships. Congratulations to Conan O' Brien for being named to the tournament's all-star team. The Midget Boys' Basketball team also defeated Blakelock last Wednesday night 43-22. The guys had outstanding performances with special mention to: Joey MacSween with 13 points and Liam Tennant with 10. The boys wrapped up their season against the undefeated St. Thomas Aquinas team on Monday. The team played hard, but fel short by a heartbreaking three points. All team members had an amaz- ing season. Last Friday, the Senior Girls' Volleyball team travelled across town te play in the E.C. Drury tournament. The team began slowly, but afiter a tough split with the high-calibre Waterloo team, the girls went on a five game streak. Their excellent teamwork and strategic play allowed for a super showing. Great job ladies. In their first home game last Thursday, the Girls' Hockey team man- aged two goals from Nicole Gooding and one from Chelsey Gruzka. Good luck in the future. With playoffs beginning shortly, we hope te see many B.R. students rooting our teams on te victory.
