CWOSSA "AAAA" Weekly Power Ranking

After some big games over the past week, we've seen an interesting shake-up on the senior side.

For the first time in the 2010 calendar year (i.e. since January), the Bluevale Knights have dropped from the top spot in the AAAA rankings after their losses to Cameron Heights and St. James (though Stefan Cvrkalj was out of the lineup in the latter).

The beneficiary?  D8 teams St. Mary's and Resurrection, who are both seeking to make their first OFSAA AAAA appearances in school history.  Of course, only one of those two schools will qualify for the CWOSSA championships.

Interesting trivia note -- the only D8 school to qualify for AAAA OFSAA was actually the St. Benedict Saints, back in 2003, when they were ranked #6 in the 8-team CWOSSA draw but pulled two upsets over #3 WCI and #2 Guelph Centennial to reach the championship final.

St. Mary's won the Knights-Vikes Shootout last weekend, while Resurrection went 2-1 at the competitive Chancellor Tournament in Hamilton (Andrew Mwangi was injured in game #1). 

There were some significant changes throughout the senior rankings; although all the teams remained the same the average change in ranking was a staggering 2.3 spots per team --- probably the highest ever in rankings history.  Of course, this is due to some great league and tournament matchups that often pitted ranked teams against each other.
