T15.  Southwood 0-10
T15.  WODSS 0-10

The league schedule gets back underway a full two weeks from today (February 8th) with a pretty big game --- Cameron Heights will play Forest Heights at 3:30pm (at FHCI) with the winner likely getting first place overall in the standings entering the playoffs (assuming neither slips up in their last outing). 

Another massive tilt scheduled for February 8th features Bluevale (8-2) visiting Grand River (7-3).  The Knights also face a tough test on February 10th against Eastwood (6-4).

From a tiebreaking perspective in that area of the standings:
Bluevale: defeated GPSS; not played GRCI; will not play Galt
Galt: defeated GPSS; will not play either Bluevale or Grand River
Grand River: lost to GPSS; not played BCI; will not play Galt
Glenview Park: beat Grand River, lost to Galt and Bluevale.

Both Galt and Glenview Park should win their last 2 games and finish with 9-3 records.  Glenview Park's remaining 2 games are against WODSS and Huron Heights, who are a combined 1-19 on the year.  Galt has a bit tougher schedule against Cambridge rivals JHSS (4-6) and Preston (3-7).

That being said, if GRCI beats Bluevale and all 4 teams finish at 9-3, we would utilize the "strength of schedule" tiebreak which (I think) would benefit GRCI and BCI, who have more playoff teams on their schedule this season.

If Bluevale takes out Grand River, then it's a moot point as GRCI would have 4 losses and, in that scenario, become a very dangerous #6 seed, which isn't a bad spot to be in.  They made the most of that exact circumstance last year and advanced through to the WCSSAA championship game, as well as the CWOSSA semifinals.
