After a 5-year absence, Father Henry Carr Catholic Secondary School's Early Bird Senior Prep Classic returned this past weekend. FHC won the last one in 2019, and they came back to win it again in 2024 after a hard-won fight!

  • Game 1: FHC 64 (Dre’kel Clayton, 22) vs. SImcoe United 55

  • Game 2: FHC 64 (Prince Appau, 12) vs. Cali Prep 61

  • Game 3: FHC 88 (Kaden Jonas, 20) vs Full Circle 81 in overtime

We are very proud of the way the boys played. The Crusaders were intense, driven and played like a TEAM. Win or lose, that’s a recipe for improvement, growth and success. We want to thank the players, coaches, staff, fans, volunteers, alumni, iLL Minds Media, OnPoint Basketball, Executive Security, Chef Martin, & Custodian Nick Antonellli, for making this an amazing event!
