Props to the schedule maker.
The WCI Vikings and Waterloo-Oxford Crusaders will enter the final game of the season with identical 11-0 records, after posting respective victories on Thursday night.
I just may have to come check out the "new" Green Machine for myself on Tuesday (no offense St. John's, you're still pretty darn good....).
On Thursday, W-O took out Huron Heights by a 69-25 final, backed by 12 from Madison Horst and 11 from Alisha Glendinning. Amanda Madigan (13) and Jenna Gangl (4) were the top Huron scorers.
Meanwhile, in a defensive struggle, the Vikes got past the Jacob Hespeler Hawks 32-23, with Isabella Kellerman (10), Danielle Sauve (9) and Brittany Scarrow (7) leading the way. Candice Wright (8) and Jasmine Ramcharan (4) topped the JHSS scoring.
Here are the rest of Thursday's results:
Bluevale 48, Southwood 27
The Knights officially clinched a playoff spot with the win. Kailee Sawyer (17), Leah DenHartogh (10) and Julia Curran (10) led the way for Bluevale, while SSS' Taylor White scored 21 of their 27 points.
Cameron Heights 51, Preston 30
The Gaels moved one step closer to a playoff spot themselves with a key win against PHS. Hunter Johns (16) and Omnia Osman (11) were in double figures for Cameron, while Breanna Johnson continued her strong play for the Panthers with 12. Hayley McGoldrick added 6 more for PHS.
Eastwood 42, Glenview Park 33
The Rebels keep their playoff hopes intact with a win over Glenview. Mel Samuel poured in 13 and Kayla Shantz added 9 in the win, while the Panthers had 11 each from Josie Mackrow and Jocelyn Kivell.
KCI 49, Forest Heights 43
A big battle here between two "upper echelon" teams goes to the homecourt Raiders. Frances Campbell (15), Alia Hazineh (12) and Ady Bowra (11) were all in double figures for KCI, while Tameika Elliot (game high 19) and Shannon Scott (8) led the Trojans.
Elmira 33, Grand River 23
See my comment from the previous game, as the (now) 9-2 Lancers take out the (now) 7-4 Renegades. Nicole Cressman had 11 and Kelsie Freeman 9 in the win, while Mackenzie Miller had 8 and Caroline Lorkovic 6 for GRCI.
SJAM 37, Galt 26
SJAM pulls out a key win against Galt, thanks to 15 from Sam Fowler and 9 by Safina Husein. Megan White (9) and Kadija Mohamed (7) topped the GCI scoring.
So, with that we have the following standings. Note that the top 4 spots (first round byes) are now locked up, but the positions themselves are not yet secured.

What a logjam in the 5-7 spots, as well as 9 through 13, with nothing set in stone just yet.
Looking ahead to Tuesday:
Glenview Park isn't out of it just yet as they have a game against 1-10 Galt in their finale. They must be kicking themselves for losing last week against Preston, BUT they do have key tiebreakers against the teams immediately ahead of them --- Southwood and Huron Heights.
Therefore, if GPSS wins and either of SSS (KCI) or HHHS (JHSS) lose, Glenview Park will be in. Southwood has the tiebreak over Huron Heights in the event of a three-way tie.
Confused yet? Good, that's just the 11 through 13 spots.
Cameron Heights, Eastwood, and SJAM will all officially clinch with either a win in their respective games, or a loss by Southwood OR Huron Heights.
Bluevale is locked into the #8 spot. They can't move up or down; even should they lost to FHCI, they do hold tiebreaks over all of the current 4-7 teams (ECI/SJAM/CHCI).
