A local high school is taking a shot at launching a prep basketball program.
Academie Ste. Cecile already has prep hockey and soccer, and is looking to expand its offering.
Athletic Director Robb Serviss says the school is putting together the team next month, wth plans to compete in both the U.S. and Canada.
'Another small piece in the big plan. When you look at, what we're trying to build here within the infrastructure and, and, trying to, you know, become a big player in the, you know, prep, sports scene here in the Midwest,' said Serviss
The 12-person roster will be coached by former Lancer and OUA champion Greg Surmacz, who was head of player development with the university men's basketball team last season.

Toronto Raptors' Scottie Barnes poses with General Manager Bobby Webster as he is presented with a ball to mark his All-Star selection before NBA basketball action against the Indiana Pacers in Toronto on Wednesday, February 14, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chris Young TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors' search for a new team president is over. General manager Bobby Webster will have his contract extended to be the team's head of basketball operations. The team will not appoint a president at this time.

A team statement says that Webster will lead the team as General Manager with the support of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment leadership, MLSE president and chief executive officer Keith Pelley, announced. Webster, 40, is entering his ninth season as GM in Toronto and 13th with the Raptors, and his 21st overall in the NBA. One of the architects of the 2019 championship team, Webster has led Toronto's overall roster building, organizational structure, and day-to-day basketball operations. Before being named general manager in June 2017, he held the titles of assistant general manager and vice-president, basketball management and strategy. A native of Hawaii, Webster came to the Raptors after seven years at the NBA's league office, under the leadership of commissioners David Stern and Adam Silver. He worked primarily on the NBA's collective bargaining agreement and was part of the team that successfully negotiated the 2011 CBA with the National Basketball Players Association. He and his wife Lauren, an entrepreneur and company founder, live in Toronto with their three children. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 18, 2025.
