Episode Details

The West Ferris Trojans beat the first-place Algonquin Barons two out of three games to claim the 2025 NDA senior boys basketball banner on Thursday night, and the Echo Sportscast #23 includes a full report that was recorded prior to the final game. We also covered the senior girls volleyball final series between the first-place St. Joseph Scollard Hall Bears and the Chippewa Ravens. The Ravens staved off elimination on Wednesday night in an exciting 5-set match forcing a deciding third contest on Tuesday evening. The junior basketball Trojans swept the Bears in two games to three-peat as the NDA champions and Chippewa also beat the Bears in two games to win their school's first junior girls volleyball banner since 2005. Our Spotlight interview is with Mark Lyons and Connie Hergott about the Ride for Jack event this Saturday beginning at 10 a.m. with a groomed trail beginning where the East Ferris boat ramp is near the Trout Lake Stepping Stones at the end of MacPherson Drive. In post-secondary varsity sports reports, the Nipissing Lakers women's team finished first with a win over Brock on Saturday, a timely victory featuring a penalty shot goal that gave scoring star Malory Dominico her 100th OUA point. The Heritage Moment gives an example of future segments that highlight who the people are who are honoured with their names on NDA trophies.
