Dec 11 - If there was a tag line for this year's SDSSAAA Senior Girls Basketball All-Star Game hosted earlier this evening at Lockerby Composite School, it would have to be: "good time had by all". In a spirited and fast-paced game that gave spectators plenty to cheer about, Team Poirier, coached by Lo-Ellen Park's Yves Poirier, dispensed with Team Green, coached by Lockerby's Sean Green and Mike Sheridan, by a final score of 82-73. Leading by six at the half, the halftime three point show spelled the beginning of the end for Team Green, with Team Poirier putting on a clinic sinking thirty-four treys to Team Green's twenty-one, in a span of three minutes (each three pointer counted for one point in the final score). The Team Poirier attack was led by Lockerby's Erin Simpson with 14 and Sacre-Coeur's Chantal McMahon with 11, while Team Green's top scorers were Lockerby's Tiye Traore with 16 and Lasalle's Katie Andrighetti with 7.
