WCSSAA & D10: Thursday Picks

The final day in the regular season in both leagues.....hopefully my picks column can finish strong.  Here's today's selections:

WCSSAA YTD Picks:  68-10 (.872)
D10 YTD Picks:  49-3 (.942)

WCSSAA

Eastwood (8-3) at Galt (8-3)
Pick:  Galt
Big battle here, as the winner takes the 4th overall spot and one of the first-round playoff byes.  I'll lean to the homecourt Ghosts, who have been playing well as of late.

SJAM (3-8) at Glenview Park (1-10)
Pick:  SJAM
The 'Landers need the win to cement a playoff berth; though it should be close I"ll take them on the road here today.

Cameron Heights (10-1) at WODSS (3-8)
Pick:  CHCI
The Crusaders need to win today and get some help to get in the playoffs.  Unfortuntely, they're playing one of the top teams in the league today; CHCI takes this one to finish at 11-1.

Grand River (6-5) at Preston (6-5)
Pick:  GRCI
Another game that will have a big impact on the playoff landscape.  I will not go against the surging GRCI Renegades this time, as they've been making me pay for picking against them as of late.

Bluevale (7-4) at KCI (10-1)
Pick: KCI
Look for the Raiders to end their regular season on a winning note against the BCI Knights.

Elmira (5-6) at Jacob Hespler (3-8)
Pick:  EDSS
The Lancers have had some close outings as of late, and are coming off a tough loss to Bluevale on Tuesday.  Still, I look for them to be too much for the JHSS Hawks to handle in this one.

Forest Heights (1-10) at Southwood (6-5)
Pick:  SSS
After a relatively tough schedule, the Sabres got the benefit of a "bye win" on Tuesday, and now go up against the 1-10 Trojans.  I should warn them that the Trojans are better than their record would indicate, but that won't change my pick here:  Sabres to win.

D10 Picks

Orangeville (0-13) at JF Ross (10-3)
Pick:  JFR
The Royals will get the win they need today; however, in order to get 2nd they will also require CWDHS to lose to CCVI.

Lourdes (6-7) at St. James (2-11)
Pick:  OLOL
Both teams are locked into their playoff spots --- Lourdes 5th and St. James, 7th.  Lourdes wins on the road here to finish at .500.

Centre Wellington (10-3) at Centennial (4-9)
Pick:  CWDHS
As noted above, CW can clinch 2nd overall (and a home semifinal game) with a win today.  I think they'll get it done against the Spartans today.

Bishop Mac (12-1) at GCVI (8-5)
Pick:  BMAC
Both teams are securely in the #1 and #4 spots, meaning that this is a potential semifinal preview.  I don't expect to see the coaching staffs do anything crazy here as a result, but the Celtics will probably be a bit hungry for redemption after losing their first D10 game in forever on Tuesday.  BMAC to win.
