More about 1991-1992 Oshawa ONeill Collegiate Senior Boys AAA:
The 1991-1992 Oshawa O'Neill Boys Basketball Team achieved prominence in Ontario Basketball by being the first, and to date, the only Oshawa school, in fact Durham Region school, to win the highest division senior boys basketball title. The achievements of this basketball team are outstanding.  After a December loss to provincially ranked Toronto Bathurst Heights, Oshawa O'Neill did not lose another game for the rest of the season, winning 30 straight games.  This talented team won the following in 1992:  The Ottawa South Carlton Tournament, The O'Neill Rob Burnett Memorial Tournament, The Oshawa Times Classic Invitational Tournament, The Lake Ontario Secondary School Association Championship and the Ontario Federation Secondary School Association Provincial Championship. In winning the Ontario title, Oshawa O'Neill won five straight games in just over 52 hours, culminating in a 64 to 56 win over the number one ranked Toronto Runnymede Redmen.  The overall team season record was 42 wins and 5 losses. Of special note, all 10 team members, plus the team manager, graduated from O'Neill with four accepting U.S. athletic championships, and four remaining in Canada to play at the university or college level.
