Things went as expected on Wednesday afternoon in the D8 senior league, with the three "AAAA" schools posting wins over their smaller cousins.Maybe what wasn't expected, though, is that the Resurrection Phoenix didn't pull away from the Woodland Cavaliers, managing just 35 points in a 35-25 win.
Woodland looks like a possible favourite in the "A" CWOSSA division, given that they've stayed fairly competitive with Rez (10), St. Mary's (14) and St. Benedict (9) in games played at home.
Celia McGlynn had 17 and Sarah Schulz 9 for Rez yesterday, while Emma Roorda had 8 and Kirstin Hofstee 4.
Rez's win clinched them a playoff berth, while the St. Mary's Eagles are also officially in with their win yesterday and losses by Woodland and Rockway.
In the other senior games on Wednesday:
St. Benedict 56, Rockway 16
My Pick: SBCSS by 31
Kayla Leusink had 22 points to lead the Saints to victory over the Flames on Wednesday; Sam Shu was tops for RMC with 7.
St. Mary's 39, St. David 25
My Pick: SMHS by 11
Beth Zebib led a balanced Eagle attack with 9, while Maggie Srouji and Brittany Gulic added 6. Bobbi-Sue Hentges and Liz Scanlon had 6 each for the Celts.
