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.
