EMC Sports - The Arnprior District High School Senior and Junior boys basketball teams defeated Renfrew opponents Tuesday to move within one win of a double County championship.

The Redmen teams host the title games today (Thursday) at ADHS, with the seniors playing old foe RCI at 1 p.m. and the juniors hosting Opeongo at 3:15 p.m.

Both teams wrapped up 9-0 undefeated seasons with wins over MacKenzie High School in Deep River last Thursday.

In semi-final action Tuesday at ADHS, the seniors outscored St. Joseph's 78-41. Mike Shoveller led the Redmen with 35 points, while Jaegr Prot scored 11 and Cody Moore 10.

St. Joseph's (5-4) had upended MacKenzie (6-3) 39-31 in the quarter-finals.

In the other semi-final, RCI beat Fellowes 60-43 to set up yet another title showdown between the Arnprior and Renfrew schools.

The juniors were matched against RCI (7-2) in the semi-finals, after the Renfrewites beat MacKenzie 46-41 in the quarter-finals.

The Redmen held off a determined RCI squad Tuesday for a 41-36 win.

In the other semi-final, two 7-2 teams clashed, with Opeongo defeating St. Joseph's 49-40.

If the juniors win today, it will mark their third straight Upper Ottawa Valley title.
