Burlington's Corpus Christi Catholic Secondary School senior girls basketball team are Halton Catholic champions after beating St. Thomas Aquinas 57-26 in the final at Sheridan College on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
The Halton Catholic Athletic Association, the league for the region's Catholic high schools, crowned the Longhorns its 2026-2027 senior girls champions in a post on Instagram and sent them "Off to GHAC!" That's the next round of playoffs.

The final was the Longhorns' fourth straight win in the results Lokul has collected, a streak that started with a 63-12 rout of fellow Burlington school Assumption on Oct. 22. Three of the four wins came by 24 points or more.
| Date | Opponent | Score | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct. 22 | Assumption | 63-12 W | Corpus Christi CSS |
| Oct. 27 | Bishop Reding | 57-33 W | Bishop Reding CSS |
| Nov. 5 | St. Francis Xavier | 46-44 W | Corpus Christi CSS |
| Nov. 10 | St. Thomas Aquinas | 57-26 W | Sheridan College |
The real scare came five days before the final, when Corpus Christi edged St. Francis Xavier by just two points on its home court, the closest game of the run.
The title stands out at a school whose teams, by Lokul's count as of Nov. 6, had won 8 and lost 10 of their 18 games this school year.
Back at the school, at 5150 Upper Middle Road in the Orchard Park area of north Burlington, the school had urged students to show their spirit for the final, with tickets for the buy-out sold on School Cash Online. After the win, the school's Instagram account congratulated the team on "their big HCAA Championship win!!" and thanked "all the longhorns who came out to cheer, support, and show CC spirit!"
It was a busy day for Halton Catholic hoops: the league also named Holy Trinity its junior girls champions. And Corpus Christi's senior boys football team has reached its own HCAA championship game after a 15-13 win over Bishop Reding.
