Blues Romp in Cadette Express Tourney Championship Final

On November 10, 2014, the SBA Blues U15 defeated the St Francois Blizzard in the Championship Finals of the Cadette division of the St Laurent Express Tournament in Montreal, QC.

The Blues, from Scarborough, Ontario, won the game handily by a score of 77-30.

The out of province visitors asserted their dominance over the Blizzard in the game early by establishing a 22-6 first quarter lead, that later mushroomed to 46-10 early in the third.

They were led in scoring by Kylee O’Hara who scored 16 points, and also received a contribution of 14 points from Point Guard, Brianna Breedy.

Despite the lopsided Championship Final, the Blues were really put to the test during the Semi-Final game earlier in the day against hosts, St Laurent Express.

The Ontario squad needed a late field goal to put away a 61-56 win in a game that had several lead changes, and didn’t see either side have a lead greater than six points.

In that game, the Blues were led in scoring by Keishanna Washington who scored 14 of her total 17 points in the second half. They also saw major scoring contributions from Brianna Breedy (11) and Sabree Thomas (10). The Express’ Taisha Exanor replied with 16, including three, 3-pointers. Forward Alex-Iris Roberge added 12 points to go along with 10 from Paulbeline Ibata in an effort to defend the Championship the won the year prior.
