The Jacob Hespeler Hawks have given themselves the inside track to a CWOSSA "AAA" berth, but they aren't out of the woods just yet.
Jacob Hespeler (9-2) defeated KCI (9-2) in a low-scoring 29-23 affair last night, which technically moves the Hawks in front of KCI in the league standings due to the head-to-head tiebreak.
However, KCI will be heavily favoured in their final game (Eastwood) whereas Jacob Hespeler will be facing a top-6 team (Grand River).
Anyways, on Thursday it was Candice (17) and Courtney (8) Wright leading the way for the Hawks, while Frances Campbell put home 14 points for KCI.
