The OSCVI Falcons (AA) and Waterford DHS Wolves (A) will be the final CWOSSA teams tipping off their OFSAA 2010 games today.
Owen Sound, the #13 seed in AA, will face #7 Timmins. The Falcons are making their first OFSAA appearance, while Timmins has 16 OFSAA medals in their school's history, including 5 gold, 4 silver and 7 bronze. They have a solid club (34-10 on the year) here seeking to add to that total.
The Blues have had respectable losses to top GTA teams (68-55 to #2 AAAA school Mother Teresa, 74-55 to #3 AAAA school JC Richardson), and have some size that should help them contain Owen Sound's big man Ben Singbeil to an extent.
I'm thinking the Blues will use their experience from their extremely difficult schedule to be able to power past the Falcons in this first round game ---- especially as OSCVI gets their feet wet.
Meanwhile, up in Sturgeon Falls, the #7 Waterford Wolves start out their OFSAA schedule against #13 Holy Trinity CSS of Cornwall. The Wolves (in my humble opinion) are a little underrated here as a #7 seed --- though to be fair, the "A" tournament is by far the hardest of all to seed.
Look for Waterford, who gained valuable experience at last year's OFSAA championships, to take the first steps towards a possible medal by defeating Trinity in their first round game.
