CWOSSA Qualification

In AA, the Lourdes Crusaders will advance to the "CWOSSA qualifier" against either Delhi or Simcoe Composite from NSSAA.  This game is scheduled to take place next Tuesday, at Lourdes.

Meanwhile, St. James will advance through to play the D4 representative (likely Centre Dufferin).  The winner of that game will advance to CWOSSA, while the loser will still have another chance through a back-door qualifying game against the lone team from the BAA in "AAA", West Hill.

For "AAAA", 2 of JF Ross/Centennial/Centre Wellington will be the CWOSSA representatives.  Here's how the semifinals will help determine the AAAA teams advancing:

JFR & CCVI win --- AAAA Qualifiers:  JFR & CCVI (TBD)

JFR & OLOL win --- AAAA Qualifiers:  JFR (#1) & CCVI (#2)

CWDHS & CCVI win --- AAAA Qualifiers:  CCVI & CWDHS (TBD)

CWDHS & OLOL win --- AAAA Qualifiers:  CWDHS (#1) & JFR (#2)
