The long "minor change" comes with North Park taking the #2 spot (previously: T2) and St. John's dropping to 3rd (previously: T2) as a result of North Park's 46-41 league win earlier this week. With Assumption also being a very strong team in Brant County, there are certainly some more games worth watching as we go forward.
Without further delay, let's get to it:
1. Grand River CI Renegades / Kitchener
Last Week: #1
The Rens got pushed by Bluevale yesterday, but still maintained their perfect mark with a 51-43 victory. Can anyone get closer than that in league play?
2. North Park CVS Trojans / Brantford (AAA)
Last Week: #2 (Tie)
North Park's win over St. John's vaults them into sole possession of second place this week.
3. St. John's College Green Eagles / Brantford
Last Week: #2 (Tie)
The Gaels are a serious contender for both the D5 and CWOSSA "AAAA" titles; rebounded from Tuesday's loss to NPC by holding Paris DHS to just 5 points.
4. Waterloo Collegiate Vikings / Waterloo
Last Week: #4
The Vikes got past SJAM and KCI (another top-10 team) this week in league play to maintain their hold on the 4th overall spot.
5. Bishop Macdonell HS Celtics / Guelph
Last Week: #5
The Celts are still atop the D10 standings with Guelph CVI; both squads have 5-1 records but the Celts dumped the Gaels by 14 in their league meeting.
6. Assumption College Lions / Brantford
Last Week: #6
Two league losses to two of my top-3 CWOSSA teams; otherwise the Lions have been perfect in D5 play, and have looked solid in tournament action.
7. Elmira DSS Lancers / Elmira
Last Week: #7
The Lancers won their home tournament and picked up 2 league wins in a perfect week. They actually don't have any league games next week as their scheduled date will be a "bye win" against Southwood.
8. Guelph CVI Gaels / Guelph (AAA)
Last Week: #9
The Gaels dumped CWDHS yesterday to stay tied record-wise with Bishop Mac at 5-1 in D10 play. Right now, I have them as the second-rated "AAA" school behind North Park, although KCI and Guelph St. James is certainly in the mix as well.
9. Kitchener CI Raiders / Kitchener (AAA)
Last Week: #8
The Raiders rebounded from a loss to the WCI Vikings to handle Huron Heights with ease on the road. Their upcoming league schedule is fairly light, so I certainly see the Raiders at 9-1 heading into a game against Bluevale on October 25th.
T10. Resurrection CSS Phoenix / Kitchener
Last Week: #10 (Tie)
The Phoenix are atop the D8 standings with a spotless mark, and maintain their spot in the top-10 for another week at least. Celia McGlynn is off to a great start for the Rez juniors.
T10. Bluevale Collegiate Knights / Waterloo
Last Week: NR
The Knights are a new entry into this week's top 10 after their strong league showing (4-2) and a respectable single-digit loss to the top-ranked Renegades.
Dropped Out: St. James/Guelph (Last Week: #10 - Tie)
