The guard play of the Forest Heights Trojans has yet to be stopped.
The Trojans moved to 7-0 and continue to hold down 1st place in the WCSSAA Senior Boys' standings after taking out the WCI Vikings (who are no slouch at 5-2) by a 70-55 final yesterday afternoon.
Juwan Miller had 20 and Javon Masters 18 in the win for the Trojans, while Dani Elgadi continued his strong season for WCI with 21 and Jacob Ranton added 18.
Standing in the way of the perfect regular season are after-Christmas games with Elmira, SJAM, Bluevale, Preston and Eastwood. Looks like they have a good shot, but a couple of those games should at least be competitive.
Here's a look at everything else that went down on Thursday:
WODSS 38, Bluevale 31
My Pick: BCI by 4
When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong. Crusaders win the battle of these teams that are pretty close on paper. Jesse Dodgson had 11 and Patrick Connors 7 for W-O; Perrin Smith and Garrett Large both had 10 for the Knights.
SJAM 47, Cameron Heights 43 (2OT)
My Pick: CHCI by 5
Again, another near toss-up that I put the wrong way. A surprisingly low-scoring game, especially considering that two overtimes were needed to sort this one out. CHCI star guard Vedran Dmitrovic fouled out midway through the first overtime, and SJAM was able to capitalize on their chances during the 2nd OT for the win. Ben Reyhani, playing through injury, poured in 24 of SJAM's 47 points, while Sam Woods added 6. Dmitrovic netted 12 for Cameron and Jason Thompson added 10.
Grand River 74, Eastwood 69
My Pick: GRCI by 25
I mentioned the fact that this is a rivarly game in my picks post, and it certainly ended up being closer than I anticipated (it was actually tied at halftime). Nonetheless, a win is a win in the standings. Filip Cvrkalj (21) and Daniel Harun (19) paced the Rens, while Sayyad Yeganehnia (23) and Rik Lam (19) stepped up for Eastwood on Thursday with solid outings.
Glenview Park 68, Southwood 32
My Pick: GPSS by 10
The Panthers pulled away from the Sabres in this all-Cambridge battle; Devin Vinandy had 18 to lead the way for GPSS while Sean Davidson added 14. Zack Sauer had a game-high 19 for Southwood, with Riley Clipper adding 7.
Jacob Hespeler 57, Preston 45
My Pick: JHSS by 8
Jason Quiring (18 points) paced a trio of Hawks in double-figures --- the others being Brendan Vandyken (13) and Lucas Marsden (13) as they move ahead of all the other "AAA" schools in the WCSSAA standings. Wes Meertens had 21 and Dan Parreira 15 for Preston.
Galt 59, KCI 36
My Pick: GCI by 8
Jack Simmons had his way on the interior, putting home 19 points while backcourt teammate Owais Khairi added 16 as the Ghosts rolled KCI at home. Julian Greer had 9 and Matt McKinnon 8 for the Raiders.
Huron Heights 55, Elmira 16
My Pick: HHHS by 27
The Lancers' offensive struggles continued on Thursday, with only 16 total points. Aaron Turpin (10) and Tyler Kozub (10) led Huron, while Lucas Nosal had 5 and Brian Gruneberg 4 for EDSS.
