Windsor Express Guard drops 33, Windsor flies past Skyhawks 105-102

(OTTAWA, ONTARIO) The Windsor Express are enjoying their visits to Ottawa.

The Express took a 12 point lead into the fourth quarter and held on, beating the Skyhawks 105-102, for their second win in two tries in the nation's capital.

Stefan Bonneau was up to his usual antics, posting 33 points on 12-for-18 shooting from the field and 6-for-10 behind the arc.

Darren Duncan led the team with 11 rebounds and four assists and added 20 points.

Chris Commons steadily delivered 25 points himself.

The victory stops a two game losing streak for the Express and gives them a 5-4 record after the first month of the season.

KidSport Windsor Assists 54 Under-Resourced Children; Surpasses First Milestone

Gift of Sport Holiday Campaign to Help Kids Get in the Game!

Windsor, Ontario. KidSport Windsor is pleased to announce that it has reached and surpassed the first milestone in the Chapter’s existence by awarding 54 grants to local under-resourced children in the area. “Thanks to generous gifts of sponsors and donors in our community like Biz X Magazine, Bentall Kennedy (Windsor Crossing) and Boston Pizza, we were able to raise then award $19,945 in funds locally to under-resourced children,” said KidSport Co-Chair, Chuck Smith.

Recently, dreams came true for local family, the Johnson’s where Amy, mother of 6 experienced extensive barriers to sport participation. “As a full-time law student and single mother, the cost is quite prohibitive for my children to play sports. Thanks to KidSport, my sons Theodore, Michael and Keon will be able to play basketball with Core City Hoops and Levi, with Legion Track and Field.” KidSport does more than remove barriers to participation, it creates a foundation for lifelong well-being. “Children are provided with the opportunity to feel and be a part of something bigger than themselves, which is critical to healthy childhoods and productive citizenry,” said Amy Johnson.

Since it’s inception during the KidSport Windsor Family Day Event on Monday, February 18, 2013, KidSport’s number have grown in several diverse ways. The division of 54 represents 30 boys and 24 girls, average age of 7 onto which 36 aboriginal youth belonging to the Can-Am Indian Friendship Centre received the Gift of Sport for the first time, 2 of which went to win a championship with Windsor Minor Lacrosse Association only after picking-up a stick 3 months earlier for the first time. “Thank you for helping us get into Lacrosse,” said Jace Tyler (9). “After we won, we got medals, pizza and pop!”

Next on the docket for KidSport Windsor is the Gift of Sport Holiday Campaign. It is a national fundraising campaign taking place November 20 to January 10, 2013, and raises money, so all Canadian kids have an opportunity to play organized sport. “We are very proud to be part of the solution in helping more children across Canada access sport, become more active, and share the pleasure of sport with others,” said the Honourable Bal Gosal, Minister of State (Sport). “Our Government is pleased to support KidSport in making a real difference in the lives of many young Canadians.”
