Windsor Classic Semis

The Windsor Greyhounds battled a solid Leeton team on Thursday night to see who would make it to the championship against Tipton on Saturday. It turned out to be 32 minutes of hard fought basketball. Both team played hard and never gave in. Cameron Elwell led the Bulldogs with 20 points white Alex Anstine put in 14.

Leeton

The atmosphere was electric Tuesday night as the Windsor Greyhounds played an intense game against rival Leeton. As expected it was a tough, hard fought battle the whole game.

Daniel Sanders led the Hounds with 28 points. Ryan Hamilton had a double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds. Zane Anstine and Dillon Johnson also contributed 5 points a piece.
