About: The St. Matthew Tigers and Franco-Cité Faucons both made history at Nov. 20-22 OFSAA ‘AA’ Championships by winning their schools’ first-ever provincial title in girls’ basketball and boys’ volleyball respectively. The second-smallest school in the national capital league, the Tigers completed an undefeated season in Kingsville, winning their last 3 matches by 5, 8 and 5 points, including the 40-35 final over Lasalle. The majority of the players had played together since Grade 7 through to their senior years. With a 4-set win in the final in Dryden, the Faucons ended a run of 8 consecutive years that Eden HS won ‘AA’ OFSAA, including 3 years ago when they beat Franco-Cité in the provincial final by 2 points in the deciding set.
