Title: Toughest challenge of the season lies ahead for Mustangs basketball

---------------------------------------------------


By Jake Courtepatte

St. Maximilian Kolbe's Junior boys basketball team will be looking to put together a Cinderella story of their own in YRAA playoff action this week.
A win in the first round has the Mustangs up against Middlefield Collegiate Institute of Markham, the overwhelmingly dominant team in York Region basketball.

St. Max, meanwhile, has turned an unimpressive pre-Christmas season into a promising one.

Following a 0 – 2 start to the season, the Mustangs turned around to win four of their remaining six games and finish with a respectable .500 record. 
Good for fifth place in the Tier 2 East Division, they crossed over to play St. Elizabeth of the West, who were riding a hot streak of two consecutive victories to close out the season.

In an impressive offensive display, the Mustangs strung together 66 points in the contest, a season high.

They will now face off against the Middlefield Silver Hawks on the away court, an undefeated team that averaged 68 points-per-game during the regular season.

Action takes place Friday at 3:30 p.m.
