CWOSSA Midseason Review: D8 Senior

To be honest, there really hasn't been a lot of intrigue (to this point) in the D8 senior boys' season.

As expected, the St. Mary's Eagles and Resurrection Phoenix are leading the way in the league standings, with the St. Benedict Saints trailing closely behind.  Monsignor Doyle, St. David and Rockway (all with one win each) are in a dog-fight for the fourth and final playoff spot --- most important to MDCSS and SDCSS as it also comes with a CWOSSA "AAA" berth.

Essentially, the question in D8 for the second half of the season:  will we be seeing a St. Mary's and Resurrection final, or will St. Benedict have a say in the matter?

It's more than possible that the Saints will, given a respectable single digit loss to St. Mary's and the fact that they were up one on Rez at halftime of their game before the Phoenix went on a big second half surge to win by 18.

The winner of the second RCSS-SMHS showdown will probably be your regular season champion and the top seed entering the playoffs.  The Phoenix need to win by 4 or more, while the Eagles can win, or lose by 2 or less.  A three-point Rez win will invoke a tiebreak.
