We'll add a few junior picks to the mix today, to hopefully help in keeping me sharp while we wait for the resumption of other CWOSSA leagues --- such as WCSSAA --- in the new year (fingers crossed).
Senior - 3:30pm Games
St. Mary's (4-0) at St. Benedict (3-1)
My Pick: SMHS by 32
Yes, these are currently the #1 and #2 teams in the D8 standings. And yes, I'm picking the Eagles to continue their streak of 30+ wins in D8.
Monsignor Doyle (2-2) at Resurrection (2-2)
My Pick: RCSS by 22
Look for the Phoenix to get back in the win column at home today, provided they don't overlook this year's surprise junior team, the Monsignor Doyle Mustangs (double OT loss to SDCSS and 9-point loss to SMHS show that they're vastly improved).
St. David (3-2) at Woodland Christian (0-4)
My Pick: SDCSS by 33
The Celtics can make it four straight here today with a win against Woodland. Look for them to do just that.
Junior - 5:00pm Games
St. Mary's (4-0) at St. Benedict (3-1)
My Pick: SMHS by 3
Should be a very competitive game over in Cambridge, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Saints pull it out. I'll go with the Eagles, though, in a close one.
Mons. Doyle (2-2) at Resurrection (1-3)
My Pick: RCSS by 6
The winner of this game will put themselves in fourth place in the D8 standings heading into the "second round" of the D8's schedule. Big game for both clubs; slight edge to the homecourt Phoenix.
St. David (4-1) at Woodland (1-3)
My Pick: SDCSS by 32
Glad that I don't have to pick three nail-biters today in my D8 junior debut; the junior Celtics should post a comfortable win over the Cavaliers.
