A 2-1 picks day in both D8 junior (Rockway over Woodland) and senior (MDCSS slipping past St. David) yesterday.Let's start with the competitive junior division:
Junior
Rockway 57, Woodland 34
No trouble for the Rockway Flames in picking up their first win of the season, although I'm not certain if Shane Clarke was able to play in this one. Isaac Regier (16) paced three Flames in double figures, the others being Connor Huxman (15) and Liam Robinson (10). Drew Carrick had 11 and Tristan Vanderhoef 8 for Woodland.
St. David 54, Mons. Doyle 45
The Celtic win virtually locks up third place for them in the D8 standings; they received 21 from George Dumitru and 9 from Alec Scheffler in this one. Ryan Stafford (15) and Sohrob Sultani (14) led the way for Doyle.
St. Benedict 56, Resurrection 31
The Saints turned a 7-point game at halftime into a runaway in the second half of this one. Zubair Seyed (14), Khiem Tran (11) and Vicken Geokijan (10) led SBCSS while Sean Begy (8), Jake Rush (7) and Nick Snider (7) were the top Phoenix scorers.

In this battle of "AAA" clubs, Uzair Khan put home a three-ball and some FTs late to help the 'Stangs overcome a fourth-quarter deficit against the Celtics in a game that was tight throughout. Khan led MDCSS with 15, while Tyler Saris had 9. Zach Enriquez (11) and Jake Winter (10) led the St. David scoring.
Resurrection 66, St. Benedict 55
Rez gives themselves the inside track to finishing 2nd in the D8 standings with a win on the road in Cambridge here. Patric McGlynn put home 20 points while Tyler Bartley added 14 for Rez; Tyler Moulton (15) and Omar Comanto (14) led the Saints.
