A few sports still on the go

While most high school athletes are finished for the season, there are still a few sports on the go.

This was a season of upsets with 3 of the 4 teams that finished first or second in their division losing in the quarter-finals and the fourth top-2 team losing in the semis. Both teams will advance to the OFSAA regionals next week. The regionals are in Burlington and Oshawa while the final four is in St. Mary's (near London), home of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.
