If a 7-1 record wasn't enough to convince people that Redeemer was a championship threat in OCAA men's basketball, knocking off the defending champion Sheridan Bruins at home 96-78 on Dec. 1 should serve as a wake-up call. The Royals ended Sheridan's 27-game win streak against OCAA opponents (regular and post-season). Reigning All-Canadian Rayvon Higdon (Rochester, N.Y.) scored 27 points in the contest.
