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.
