Top scorers for River Oaks were Haijeev Brar (16), Noah Gataveckas (13) and Adam Fieldhouse (8). Top scorers for Falgarwood were Andrae Sutherland (15), Tyler Moe (10) and Mike Samardzich (6). The game was actually only for pride. In a quirk of the tiebreaking sys­ tem, it was known before the game that both teams would advance to the Halton semifinal round, and that both play each other. Here's the reason. The Halton semifinals consist of the east (Oakville), west (Burlington) and north (north Halton) champions plus a fourth wildcard team which is deter­ mined by the best team among the divi­ sional losers (i.e., east, west and north). In this case, it was known going into the Oakville championship that whatever team lost would still advance to the Halton semis by virtue of a better record than Tourney won in O.T.
