As Yogi Berra said, it's déjà-vu all over again.Just like a season ago, and under similar circumstances, the Cameron Heights Golden Gaels picked up an early-season upset road win over the Jacob Hespeler Hawks on Thursday afternoon in Cambridge.
It also wasn't too different a scoreline, 37-31 compared to the 41-37 final from a season ago.
Tonisha Lewis (15) and Nina Farkic (10) led the way for Cameron Heights with double-digits performances, while Candice Wright (18) and Courtney Wright (9) provided almost all of the Jacob Hespeler offense.
Both those teams are now 1-1 on the season.
Meanwhile, after patting myself on the back for a perfect 7-0 start, I also saw the Elmira Lancers destroy the Huron Heights Huskies after picking Huron by single digits, so congrats to Elmira there.
In the 53-31 final, Kelsie Freeman (18), Nicole Cressman (15) and Carly Sider (10) were all in double-figures for EDSS, while Katrina Kostecki (10) and Jenna Gangl (9) paced Huron.
Here's a look at the other results from Thursday:
WODSS 44, Grand River 22
My Pick: WODSS by 12
The Rens certainly had their offensive struggles on Thursday, as they couldn't get untracked against the veteran Crusaders. Maddy Horst poured in 29 for WO in the win, while Tess Pettigrew added 8. Tara DeBoer and Caroline Lorkovic netted 6 each for the Rens.
WCI 35, Preston 14
My Pick: WCI by 37
Some of the Vikes' youth got some solid minutes in this one, as they were led by Kaitlyn Bentz (13), Olivia Bender (6) and Hayley Birss (6). Allison Cranwill had 4 for the Panthers.
Southwood 36, Eastwood 22
My Pick: SSS by 27
The Sabres evened up their record, with a 10-point contribution from Megan Cole and 9 from Brianne Jewell. Kayla Shantz had a game-high 12 for ECI, while Mel Samuel added 7.
Forest Hts. 33, SJAM 29
My Pick: FHCI by 5
Both teams' usual high scorers were tops again on this day, as Linna Liou (FHCI) had 8 and Taylor Trush (SJAM) a game-high 13 for their respective clubs.
KCI 51, Galt 19
My Pick: KCI by 22
The Raiders moved to 2-0 at the expense of the 0-2 Galt Ghosts. Christiana Koebel (13) and Frances Campbell (12) led the way for KCI; Cassy Ramlal (9) and Bethany Greathead (5) were the top Galt performers.
