Titans boys basketball captures season's first tourney

The Titan Boys Major Midget Basketball team, coached by Thomas Cory, started out their tournament season with a gold medal in the Brampton Blue Devils AA Tournament.

Although the team played three tough games back-to-back on Saturday, they were prepared to meet the first place team in Pool 2 for Sunday’s semi-final game.

The Titans led at half time but allowed the Kingston Running Rebels to pull ahead in the third quarter before shutting them down in the fourth quarter, winning the semi finals 49-42.

Moving on to the champion game, the Titans battled the Scarborough Blues. A close fought game throughout, the Titans won the gold 69-66.
