D8: Wednesday Selections

YTD D8 Picks Record:  14-1, .933

Monsignor Doyle (3-3) at St. Mary's (5-0)
Last Game:  SMHS, 41-26
Pick:  St. Mary's
The St. Mary's Eagles are fresh off a weekend in Ottawa, where they participated in a 36-team senior girls' tournament.  Of those 36 teams, 6 teams were designated "premiere" teams --- the Eagles being one of them.  They lost to Nicholson by 6 (in a game they probably should have won), defeated Huntsville by 1 and Quebec Outouias by 15 ---- finishing 2-1 in pool play, but missing out on advancing due to point differential.

At any rate, with that reporting out of the way, I'll tab the Eagles to win this one unless they left their game behind in Ottawa.  That said, I'd also expect to see the Mustangs hang around in this one as they try to further their current league & tournament win streak. 

St. Benedict (1-4) at St. David (5-1)
Last Game:  SDCSS, 57-22
Pick:  St. David
The Celts should improve to 6-1 here with this home game, but then the schedule quickly intensifies ---- their remaining games are against the other 3 probable playoff teams in D8 senior.
