Wasn't quite my day on the D10 picks side.
I had anticipated a couple of close games between GCVI/JF Ross and Centennial/Lourdes. Both of those ended up being double-digit wins for the home teams --- the Gaels and Crusaders respectively.
Here's the recaps:
Guelph CVI 42, JF Ross 29
My Pick: GCVI by 3
Ijeoma Staunton (8) and Cally Strongman (7) paced a balanced Gael attack to a key win at home over the Royals. Maddy Darling notched 7 for JFR.
St. James 60, Orangeville 9
My Pick: STJ by 32
The Lions had no trouble scoring the ball on Thursday as they rolled the winless Bears. Nastassja Herriot (14) and Donna Zen (13) led the way while Shannon Dunford was tops for Orangeville with 4.
Lourdes 46, Centennial 34
My Pick: CCVI by 5
Took a shot with the Spartans, but it was the Crusaders coming through impressively on Thursday. Monica Trimble (15) and Alana Toms (9) were the high Lourdes scorers, while Emma Cain led Centennial with 12.
