The St. Mary's Eagles are seeded 11th and the Cameron Heights Golden Gaels 13th in a deep 18-team field at the OFSAA "AAAA" championships next week in Mississauga.Another team that I don't cover (as they are a CISAA team) but fall within the CWOSSA boundary in Breslau, St. John Kilmarnock, is the #16 seed.
The full seeding is as follows:
1. St. Mike's (Toronto)
2. Henry Carr (Etobicoke)
3. D'Youville (Brampton)
4. Eastern Commerce (Toronto)
5. Oakwood (Toronto)
6. Vaughan
7. Pine Ridge (Ajax)
8. MacNab (Hamilton)
9. Cardinal Newman (Stoney Creek)
10. Notre Dame (Brampton)
11. St. Mary's
12. Mother Teresa (Scarborough)
13. Cameron Heights
14. HB Beal (London)
15. St. Patrick's (Sarnia)
16. St. John's-Kilmarnock (Breslau)
17. Glebe (Ottawa)
18. Innisdale (Barrie)
St. Mary's will take on #2 Henry Carr in their first game, scheduled for Monday at 2:30pm (at Philip Pocock in Mississauga). Cameron Heights, meanwhile, takes on #7 Pine Ridge in their opener (12:45pm, Mount Carmel).
The highest ever seed given to a CWOSSA team at the "AAAA" tournament was a #6 seed to the KCI Raiders at the 2006 championships (they would lose by 3 in the QFs to the eventual gold medalists, Mother Teresa), while the best result by a CWOSSA team was an antique bronze medal by the SJAM Highlanders in 2007 --- when they were a #13 seed.
OFSAA "AAAA" has been around since 2002.
