Red Raider girls take WECSSAA basketball championship BY FREE PRESS STAFF The Essex High School Junior Girls' basketball team got their wish Sunday afternoon--a chance to play for the WECSSAA AAA/ AAAA championship against perennial superpower St. Anne's Saints. Hoping to atone for their only regular season loss a mid-October 39-30 defeat at the hands of the Saints the Essex girls responded with their best effort of the season cruising to a 43-26 win before a raucous crowd of staff, student and parent supporters at the St. Clair College gym. The Red Raiders arrived pumped and ready to prove that, in spite of being the underdogs, they were determined to take the game to St. Anne's right from the opening tip-off. Led by balanced scoring from forwards Cortney Johnston (13 points), Laura Chittle (12 points) and guard Amy Bjorkman (11 points), the Raiders took an early lead that they never relinquished. Raider guard Kelsey Balkwill put on her usual show of excellent defensive persistence while running the offence like a pro. Centre Jill Lappan contributed with fine defensive play and timely rebounding. Head coach Dave Harrison was very happy with the team's overall effort. "You can't expect to beat a really good team like St. Anne's unless everyone contributes and stays focused on the little things," Harrison explained. "Today our girls did just that. They should be as proud of themselves as the coaches and parents are of them." Assistant coach Kathy Corchis was impressed by the team's poise under pressure.

The game looked like it would end in a tie, but late in the third after some pressure by Belle River, Dylan caught up to an outlet pass by Brett and went in all alone to put the Ravens up 21.

As the coaching staff predicted, through hard work and a few extra practices, the team's first victory was not far away. The prediction came true on Saturday in Belle River against a team who had beaten the Ravens rather easily in earlier meetings this season. But not this time. Belle River went up early in the first period but at the 6:48 mark of the second Dylan Dent and Brett Schmidt broke in two on one, with Brett finding the back of the net to tie the game at one goal each.
