It was another perfect day in the D8 Senior picks column, but it certainly didn't come easily.In fact, the St. Benedict Saints narrowly survived the Woodland Cavaliers, 34-32, at home on Wednesday afternoon.
They needed all of Kayla Leusink's 22-point performance and received 6 more from Dana Milani in the victory. Kirstin Hofstee led the way for Woodland with 12.
In other senior action:
St. Mary's 60, Rockway 19
My Pick: SMHS by 34
Everyone got in on the act for the Eagles as they had 5 players register seven or more points. Of those, Michelle Christy and Sydney Greulich led the way with 9.
Resurrection 42, St. David 22
My Pick: RCSS by 14
Sarah Schulz had 19 while Ellen McGowan and Riley Cormier added 6 each to help the Phoenix stay unbeaten. Bobbi-Sue Hentges (8) and Elizabeth Scanlon (6) led the way for St. David.
