I caught the final quarter of the girls AAA High School Basketball finals on Shaw TV. WOW that was one of the most exciting final quarters I have ever seen.
Massey v Crocus - the number one and two teams in the province (number three was Winnipeg's Sisler Spartans).
At the start of the final quarter Crocus was down 16 points and slowly began to claw back. At 6 minutes to go the lead was still around 57 to 43 for Massey.
In the last five minutes Crocus turned the jets on led by a one woman wrecking crew Danielle DeGagner. At three minutes to go the game was tied up and, for a few brief seconds Crocus even had the lead.
Here was the Free Press' buildup for the game

It came down to the final seconds with Massey up by 2 points. Crocus couldn't get that final basket, though they had two scrambling chances in the last 5 seconds. A foul was called against Crocus right at the buzzer but officials called that it was made after the buzzer.
A heartbreaker for defending champs Crocus but congrats on their almost stunning comeback. Congrats, of course, to the new high school champs champs Vincent Massey Trojans !
That was a great game !!
