Chyro went to Niagara College and played there for a bit - not sure what he's up to right now, though.

Fan: Great memory!
I was at that game. Colorado was unconscious. I'm going on memory here, but I believe it was West Hill, first round of OFSAA right here at RIM Park. The Rens almost pulled off a major upset. I think Grand was ranked something like 15th and West Hill in the top five. Colorado was huge. Best game I ever saw him play.
There have been a lot of great players in the past four years. Colorado was right on the bubble of the top ten. So too were Hannah, Alberto, Bauslaugh, Borko, Boyd, Tomas, Allan, Dixon, Saric among others.

im gonna disagree with you here... first off i think boyd is better then bryson johnson right now.. second off, im pretty sure that bobby colorodo was considered a better player then luke keiswetter when they played. I remeber him dropping something like 37 at ofsaa?

Peter: Murph is one of my favs. Scary to think what SJAM would be like with him this year or last.
But I kept this list to guys and gals who played their senior ball here in the D8/WCSSAA leagues.
He'd no doubt be there if he was still reping the Clan.

No Murphy Burnatowski? Are you out of your mind? Guy plays at NEDA ( a national development team) for 1 year and a half, represents Canada on the Canadian jr. squad, and has declared his intent to accept a scholarship at Maine in the fall...and he doesn't make your top 10?

Borko Popic?

what about jordan Dixon he is way better than bryson johnson. If he had decent coaching at any point in his life he would be D1.
