Parkside Wins OFSAA Opener

Parkside high school's senior boys basketball team opened the provincial championship with an 81-56 win over Ridgemont of Ottawa, this afternoon in Timmins.
Veteran centre Andrew Cicuttini led the Dundas school with 27 points, while Quinn Henderson added 20 points.
The Parkside Panthers next play either Cardinal McGuigan of Toronto (16 seed) or ESC Theriault of Timmins (18 seed), both of whom lost their games earlier today.
McGuigan and Theriault play this evening, with the winner moving on to face Parkside tomorrow afternoon.
Parkside entered the Provincial tournament with an overall season record of 37 wins and five losses. The small Dundas school went undefeated in regular season Hamilton play, until the city championship against Orchard Park of Stoney Creek.
