Another season, another year where the Brantford St. John's Green Eagles appear to be one of the favourites for the CWOSSA crown (this time in AAA).The Eagles rolled over London St. Thomas Aquinas 51-26 in the championship final of the Kitchener Eastwood Tournament this past weekend, thanks in part to a dozen points each from Emily Dignan and Lauren Demont.
In fact, that score was the closest anyone came to St. John's on the weekend as they won their three games by an average margin of 38 points per contest.
St. John's demolished Kitchener St. Mary's by a 55-10 count in one semifinal, with Dignan and Kayla Gaucher providing the 12-point efforts each in that one. STA knocked off Bishop Macdonell 42-29, with Dieanne Priamo leading the Celtics with 5.
The Celtics dumped St. Mary's by a 60-22 count in the third place game.
In the first-round, scores were:
St. John's 62, Waterloo SJAM 31
SJC: Lauren Demont 13
SJAM: J. Bamberger 14
Bishop Macdonell 35, Waterloo-Oxford 4
BMAC: Leah Parasatto 10
St. Thomas Aquinas 42, Preston 12
St. Mary's 34, Eastwood 16
Over on the consolation side, SJAM knocked off Preston by a 42-29 count in the final, with Milica Koprivica and Deri Curtin knocking home 11 each. Claire Gagne had a game-high 16 for the Panthers.
Preston rocked Waterloo-Oxford 38-3 in one consolation semifinal, with Kyra Drane notching 8 points. SJAM dumped Eastwood 46-16 in the other.
The Rebels would pick up a win in their home tourney, 24-19 over Waterloo-Oxford in the 7th place game. Emma Miller had 10 to pace WODSS, while Kayte Van Kalsbeek had 9 for the Crusaders.
