The two teams that met in last year's D8 final, the Resurrection Phoenix and St. Mary's Eagles, are again expected to be at the top of this year's standings (and fighting for D8's CWOSSA "AAAA" berth).Although we'll have to wait until next Wednesday to see those two squads match-up, the Phoenix and the Eagles both got off to strong starts on Monday, winning their respective opening contests.
Rez travelled to Cambridge and got past the St. Benedict Saints by a 48-30 final. Scoring details weren't made available by source.
Meanwhile, the Eagles topped Woodland Christian at home by a 47-19 count. Beth Zebib notched 18 points for St. Mary's, while Sydney Greulich had 10 and Maggie Srouji chipped in with 6. Emma Roorda had 7 and Kirsten Hofstee 4 for Woodland.
The other D8 senior tilt saw St. David demolish Rockway 42-9. Maria Valencia (8) and Jaime Simmons (7) paced a balanced Celtic attack, while Sam Shu had 4 for the Flames.
