SFX Falcons on top of the world
GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca
It’s been more than a decade since St. Fran- cis Xavier Catholic High School had the regional pennant for senior girls basketball hanging in its gymnasium. This year may be the year for an early Christmas gift to the school sports program, when the Falcons senior girls step onto their home court Nov. 8 against Russell High School. The Falcons swept through their regular season schedule with an almost-unbeaten streak of games, to claim first place overall in the Prescott-Russell High School Regional senior girls basketball league. Now they host the semi-finals match against Russell High and Coach David Mac- Kinnon is upbeat about the Falcons’ ability to soar through to the finals for the season finale. “I feel good about our chances of winning Prescott-Russell,” he said, “based on our experience and the commitment the girls have made this year.” Coach MacKinnon noted that the Falcons also have a strong defence and an ability to switch with ease to either zone defence or man-to-man, unlike other teams which may be stronger on one or the other. “So I switch up frequently each game,” MacKinnon said. “It makes us multi-dimen- sional as a team on defence. Offensively, we’ve shown patience through our ball movement.”
