WCSSAA Junior: Top Seeds Advance to Semifinal Saturday

The top seeds advanced as expected on Tuesday in WCSSAA junior girls' quarterfinal action.

In fact, none of the games were really in doubt, as all were 15+ spreads at the final buzzer.

The closest game saw the #2 WCI Vikings (who had not played a league game since October 25th) shake off some early rust and defeat #7 Jacob Hespeler by a 34-19 final.  The Vikes only lead 18-14 at halftime, but outscored Jacob Hespeler 17-5 in the second half for the final margin.

Kaitlyn Bentz, Olivia Bender and Jess Roes all had 9 apiece for WCI, while Shianne Riggan and Jasmine Ramcharan netted 6 each for the Hawks.

Meanwhile, the top-ranked team in WCSSAA (and in my CWOSSA rankings), Grand River, had no trouble advancing to the semis with a 60-33 win over #8 Cameron Heights.

Nyamuoch Teny (15) and Tara Deboer (14) paced the Rens on Tuesday, while Nina Farkic had 9 for Cameron.

The #3-seed KCI Raiders doubled-up #6 Bluevale by a 36-18 final.  Thea Taylor (8) and Alia Hazineh (7) paced a balanced KCI attack, while Megan Reid had 9 and Maddy Fielding 3 for Bluevale.

Lastly, Elmira (#4) took out SJAM (#5) by a 43-26 final.  Nicole Cressman (15), Sydney Jones (12) and Kelsie Freeman (12) were all in double-figures for EDSS, while Milica Koprivica (12) and Nicole Treciokas (6) were the top 'Lander scorers.

Semifinal Saturday
WCSSAA's semifinals will take place on Saturday at Cameron Heights.

At 2:30pm, #1 Grand River will play #4 Elmira, while #2 WCI will take on #3 KCI in the second of the two semifinals.

All four of the above teams have advanced to CWOSSA, which is detailed below.....

CWOSSA Qualification
WCSSAA will receive 2 guaranteed qualifiers in AAA & AAAA, while the "WCSSAA #3" teams in AAA & AAAA will play in a "play-in game" for another berth.

As such, Grand River and WCI have officially qualified for AAAA CWOSSA, while KCI and Elmira will represent their schools at AAA CWOSSA.

Jacob Hespeler (AAA #3) will advance to a qualifying game against Orangeville Westside.

SJAM (AAAA #3) will advance to a qualifying game against Guelph JF Ross (D10 #2).
