There's one series left of games in the WCSSAA regular season for senior girls, so let's go ahead and break things down as to where teams might end up.Tomorrow's schedule includes:
Huron Heights @ WCI
Southwood @ SJAM
Grand River @ Jacob Hespeler
Eastwood @ KCI
WODSS @ Cameron Hts.
Preston @ Elmira
Bluevale @ Galt CI
The easiest game to predict is Forest Heights, who have a bye win tomorrow and finish their season at 4-8, qualifying for the playoffs.
Bluevale will be overwhelming favourites against Galt Collegiate, a win there will move the Knights to 11-1 and solidly in second place.
Waterloo-Oxford doesn't have quite the same "walk in the park" but I expect them to post a win over Cameron Heights, putting the Crusaders at 12-0, and dropping the Gaels to 7-5.
Look for Elmira (over Preston) and KCI (over Eastwood) to be games that help shape the bottom part of the playoff bracket.
The interesting game tomorrow is Jacob Hespeler hosting Grand River. Though I like the Hawks there, a Grand River upset win could knock the Hawks to as low as #6 in the WCSSAA playoff bracket. A JHSS win, though, clinches them the #3 seed.
Here's a look at how I project the field of twelve:
1. Waterloo-Oxford (12-0) - W CHCI
2. Bluevale (11-1) - W GCI
T3 (3rd Seed). Jacob Hespeler (10-2) - W GRCI, tiebreak over WCI & KCI
T3 (4th Seed). WCI (10-2) - W HHHS; will win +/- against common opponents over KCI for 4th if the teams are tied record-wise.
T3 (5th seed). KCI (10-2) - W ECI
6. Grand River (8-4) - L JHSS
7. Cameron Hts. (7-5) - L WODSS
8. Southwood (6-6) - W SJAM
9. Elmira (5-7) - W PHS (Head to Head over Huron Heights)
10. Huron Heights (5-7) - L WCI
11. Forest Hts. (4-8) - bye win GPSS
12. Eastwood (3-9) - L KCI
