February 16, 2010 - OCAA in Windsor
When it comes to the OCAA regional, Windsor is no rookie, but on February 19th- 20th Windsor will host the OCAA Provincial Finals for the first time. The West Regional tournament was held at Seneca College in Toronto where two teams will be representing the St. Clair Saints; Julie Schell, who was undefeated in the ladies singles, as well as Johnny Tran and Sam Lamoure, who won silver in the men's doubles. "We're looking forward to Provincials because Julie, Sam and Johnny all have good chances of qualifying for nationals," says coach Clovis McLaughlin. It is Johnny Tran's first year playing for St. Clair and he's proven to be its strongest player in the history of the team. St. Clair has qualified for nationals three times in a row from 2005-2007. Their ladies doubles teams and their mixed teams have gone to nationals in Calgary, Toronto and British Columbia. The team's coach, Clovis McLaughlin has been awarded Coach of the Year for the past three years for his outstanding coaching. If Julie Schell, Johnny Tran, and Sam Lamoure qualify for nationals they will be the first of their division to earn their way to nationals. This year, nationals will be held in Edmonton on March 4th- 6th.
