Ottawa South Basketball Association (OSBA)

We’re a week late posting this but some things are worth the wait.

One point. That’s how close this group came to playing for gold at the Ontario Cup.

Our U16 Boys Division 2 run ends here, and what a run it was. Right there among the top 20 teams in the province. A group that belongs at that level and proved it all weekend.

Coach Kelly, thank you for everything you poured into this team. To the players, parents, families, and fans who showed up all season, this one’s for you.

Last game of the season. What a year. Go South. 💜

Ontario Cup Division 1 Champions. U19 Men. 🥇

This is the top of the mountain. Division 1. Ontario Cup gold. These young men went out and took it.

Coach Jack and this entire group, we couldn’t be more proud of what you built this season. This one is going to be remembered for a long time.

Congratulations. You earned it. 🏀💜

Saturday just got a lot more fun.💜

Small Ball Funday is this weekend and it is going to be a good one. Basketball, games, music, food, and a gym full of 5 to 8 year olds who have no idea how to stand still. Exactly as it should be.

📍 Steve MacLean Public School
🗓 Saturday May 30
🕙 10am to 2pm

Hi. Me again. I need your help. Please 💜

I’m not saying this survey has turned into a competition… but we’re currently sitting at 182 responses and only 18 away from my very important, completely made-up goal of 200. 😅

If you’ve been putting it off, now’s the time.

Every response gives us a better picture of what’s working and where we can grow.

We all love a great comeback story. 🏀

Our U16 AA Boys entered the EOBA Championships, dropped their first two games, and refused to go home. They battled back through the play-in, knocked off ICBA to stay alive, and then walked into a semifinal against the top-seeded Ottawa Shooting Stars and won it 69-67 on a buzzer be**er.

Let that sink in for a second.

They fell to Cornwall in the final but this weekend wasn't defined by that result. It was defined by a group that kept showing up when it would have been easy not to.
Coach Elizabeth Kacew and this entire group, proud doesn't cover it. 🥈💜

Anyone else singing Run the World (Girls) right now? 🎵

Our U17 AA Girls made life very difficult for everyone they played at the OBA Provincial Championships this weekend. Shutdown defence, relentless energy, and a team-first mentality that never wavered.

They came home with silver in Division 2 and a season worth celebrating.

Coach Brent Cournoyer, Coach Geoffrey Dobbin, and Coach Arthur Robillard, thank you for building something worth watching. To every family who was there for the ride, this silver is yours too. 🥈💜

Back to back. Eastern Ontario Champions. U15 AAA Boys. 🥇

43 wins. 7 losses. Eight months of early mornings, long drives to Toronto, high school commitments, and never once using any of it as an excuse.

This group shared minutes, shared the load, and delivered when it mattered most. Two consecutive Eastern Ontario Championships doesn't happen by accident.

Coach Stephanie St. John, Assistant Coaches Tim Hum and Blake Claydon, thank you for everything you poured into this team. To Emily Eacrett for finding the best hotel deals, Jessica Wang for keeping the finances running smoothly, and every family who made the travel and sacrifices this season, this gold belongs to all of you.

Proud doesn't cover it. 🏀💜

Bringing home gold for Mom on Mother’s Day hits a little different. 🥇

Our U16 AAA Boys went 4-0 this weekend to claim EOBA Championship gold in the top division. Four games. Four wins. Not a single loss.

To every parent and caregiver who made this season possible, this one was for you.

Coach Sean Kelly and this entire group, well done. 🏀💜
