Beat the Bishop Macdonell Celtics.
The Royals ended the Celts' 46 game D10 league and playoff win streak, nipping Bishop Mac 48-45 right on Bishop Mac's home court.
After rolling through 2 consecutive 17-0 seasons (2008 & 09), the Celtics also won 12 in a row to start the 2010 campaign. The Royals were also the last team to top Bishop Mac, defeating them in the 2007 D10 championship game.
In addition, it also marked the first home loss for Bishop Mac in senior girls' basketball in over three years (September, 2007).
Ross was led by a dozen each from Vanessa Martini and Silvie Cafarella. The Celts also had 2 in double figures --- Janine DeLeon (11) and Logan Lane (10).
Here's the rest of Tuesday's senior action:
Centennial 46, Orangeville 42
My Pick: CCVI
The Bears almost pulled this one out, but came up just short. April Davis (13) and Rebecca Matheson (12) were instrumental in keying ODSS' upset bid, but a trio of 9-point efforts from the Spartans helped to preserve the victory.
Centre Wellington 50, St. James 35
My Pick: CW
Three Falcons in double digits helped to secure a double-digit win season for CWDHS --- Brenann Francis (12), Chelsea Riepert (11) and Erica McFadden (11). Steph Wright had 11 for St. James, while Erica Zen added 7.
GCVI 28, Lourdes 24
My Pick: GCVI
In a playoff preview, it looks like both teams didn't show too many cards and slugged it out to a 28-24 GCVI final, locking up 4th place for the Gaels. Sierra McLaren (13) and Alysha Warnholtz (8) provided the bulk of the GCVI offense, while Kiera Bunnaman had 13 of Lourdes' 24 points.
D10 Senior Standings
1. Bishop Mac 12-1
2. CWDHS 10-3
3. JF Ross 10-3
4. GCVI 8-5
5. Lourdes 6-7
6. CCVI 4-9
7. St. James 2-11
8. ODSS 0-13
Playoff Picture:
-CWDHS clinches 2nd overall with a Thursday win vs. CCVI or a JF Ross loss vs. ODSS.
-Ross would get 2nd only with a win and a CWDHS loss, as CWDHS won both contests this year.
-All other spots have been secured: 1st - BMAC; 4th - GCVI; 5th - Lourdes; 6th - CCVI; 7th - St. James; 8th - ODSS.
Junior Girls - D10
Orangeville 45, Centennial 36
The ODSS Bears almost did it. A win by 13+ would have given them 6th place over Centennial and, in all likelihood (with JF Ross on Thursday), would have put them in the driver's seat for AAAA CWOSSA. However, they came up just short in the end. Claire Fenton poured in 19 to lead the way, while Evelyn Burgess added 10. Hannah Ferguson (11) and Chloe Runge (7) were tops for the Spartans.
St. James 47, CWDHS 29
No trouble for the Lions here, as they roar to 13-0. Chelsey Gazzola (13), Sierra Rutherford (7) and Brittany Gazzola (7) were the top St. James performers, while Kristin Gora had 13 for CW, with Abby Humber adding 9.
Bishop Mac 40, JF Ross 27
Both teams had balanced attacks in this one, with no player topping 8 points. Bishop Mac received that 8 point effort from Rebecca Morris, with teammates Sarah Calzonetti and Kerrie Sullivan scoring 6 each. Ross received 6 each from Meghan Parkinson and Stephanie Gordon.
Lourdes 45, GCVI 43 (in OT)
The Gaels nearly pulled this one out, but the Crusaders survived another upset-minded squad on this afternoon. Monica Trimble (15) and Cecilia Hudecki (10) led OLOL, while Jamie Young had a game-high 16 for the Gaels, with Clay Barley-Janzen chipping in 12 as well.
Junior D10 Standings
1. St. James 13-0
2. Lourdes 12-1
3. Bishop Mac 9-4
4. GCVI 8-5
5. Centennial 4-9 (H2H over ODSS +/-)
6. ODSS 4-9
7. CWDHS 1-12 (H2H over Ross +/-)
8. JF Ross 1-12
Playoff Positioning Notes:
1. St. James has virtually locked up first, even should they lose against Lourdes on Thursday. Lourdes gets first only if they can knock off the top-seeded Lions by 30+.
2. GCVI can overtake the Celtics for 3rd place with a win over BMac on Thursday by 17+ points.
3. Centennial can clinch 5th with a win over 1-12 CWDHS on Thursday. If they lose and ODSS beats Ross, ODSS would get 5th.
