The Seaway District High School junior girls basketball team had their season come to an end in Perth at the Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association (EOSSAA) single-A championships with a pair of losses against the top-two seeded teams.
“The girls had a tough pool to be in, a lot of competition,” said Seaway coach Trevor Thompson.
The girls team was seeded in pool-A with Perth District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) and Brockville Collegiate Institute (BCI). Both teams were previously double-A division schools that moved to the single-A division.
