Tuesday: News and Notes - 2 WCSSAA Senior Games Scheduled

It'll be later this week when the rest of the CWOSSA leagues start back up after the holidays, but there are a couple of important (rescheduled) games to take care of in the WCSSAA (senior) league today.

For starters, the Glenview Park Panthers (2-4) will travel to Waterloo-Oxford (3-3) in a huge game for both teams.  The Panthers are looking to solidify their current grasp on the 12th and final playoff spot, while the Crusaders would tie Huron Heights (4-3) and Galt (4-3) with a win ---- those two teams are currently tied for the 3rd (and final) AAA spot in the standings as we speak.

That contest, which goes at 3:30pm, was pushed back from opening day due to the long season that WODSS had on the volleyball court with their OFSAA run.

Meanwhile, the Bluevale Knights, who suffered back-to-back losses (CHCI & WODSS) before the break to drop to 3-3, will host the upstart Jacob Hespeler Hawks (5-1) in a 5:00pm showdown.

The Knights will be desperate for this one, as they still have a couple of more tough games (5-2 Preston and undefeated Forest Heights, as well as Eastwood) before the exam break.  The Hawks, though, will be looking to solidify a one-game lead on WCI and a one-game lead (with the tiebreak) on 5-2 Preston in the WCSSAA standings.

This game was rescheduled due to the Hawks being in Florida just before the Christmas break.  

As for my picks, I enter these contests with a less-than-spectacular 32-12 (.727) record.  Again, the goal is 80% or better, so we have some work to do in the second half of the season.  I'll start out today by taking the WODSS Crusaders by 8 at home, and the Jacob Hespeler Hawks by 7 on the road.
