In an early season matchup between two teams with CWOSSA "AAAA" aspirations, the Kitchener St. Mary's Eagles defeated the Eastwood Rebels by a 37-26 final in the championship game of a tournament hosted by Eastwood Collegiate this past weekend.Kaitlyn Schenck looks like she will have no problem adjusting to the senior level as she scored over half of the Eagle points (19 of 37) in the final and averaged 20.3 PPG for the tournament.
The Eagles also did it on defense, holding Eastwood to just 26 points in the final after ECI's star forward Michelle Hudyn pumped in 24 PPG herself in the first two games.
St. Mary's opens their D8 regular season on Wednesday on the road in Cambridge against Monsignor Doyle (5:00pm). Eastwood, meanwhile, also travels to Cambridge for their first game ---- playing on the road against Galt tomorrow (5:00pm).
St. Thomas Aquinas (Tottenham, Ontario) took 3rd place with a 35-28 win over Collingwood. On the consolation side, Cameron Heights demolished Jacob Hespeler 54-21 in the consolation final.

I've heard no senior wccssa games tonight. Huron Heights have dropped out and the sched has been redone to start Thursday.
ReplyDeleteThat would be too bad if that is indeed the case.
ReplyDeleteI see a revised schedule has come out for Sr. Boys Volleyball since ECI does not have a team.
If only one school doesn't have a team, I would assume that the "revised schedule" would just have the teams that were set to play HHHS as having a bye week, but we'll see what happens!
