THUNDER BAY – It’s not like the St. Ignatius Falcons really needed a spark to get them going in their NWOSSA boys’ basketball final.
St. Ignatius, who struggled in the first quarter and could only mount a 15-9 lead, went on a 39-4 run, took a 62-17 lead into the half and cruised to a 107-34 win at home on Saturday morning to sweep the series in two straight, having downed the Kenora-based Broncos 109-32 in Friday evening’s opener.
“No one on our team has been to OFSAA because of COVID. We haven’t been there, so we’re really excited. Our team has grown so much, from our first tournament where we got that experience … To go down to Hamilton early in the season and help us get engaged in that competition, it was good. We’ve improved a lot, so I think we should have a really good chance,” Jackson said.
Coach Dino Buset said the NWOSSA series was a great test to get his team ready to move on to the next level.“You never know what’s going to happen when you’ve got these one- or two-game eliminations, but our guys came out to play today. It was great.”“We’re excited about this group. I don’t know what it is about them. They’ve got something special. They work together, they have each other’s backs. I can’t wait to get there,” he said.Guard A.J.
