The SJAM Highlanders have established themselves as the team to beat in the WCSSAA junior league.After that, it's certainly anyone's guess.
A couple of interesting news, notes and observations from Tuesday's action:
- There were three 20-point scorers on Tuesday, including Huron's Jamila Beckford (24 vs. FHCI), Cameron's Tamara Grahovac (20 vs. PHS) and WCI's Victoria Giguere (20 vs. WODSS).
- Bluevale was held without a field goal by the Jacob Hespeler Hawks during a 39-3 defeat. Bluevale's three points were all accounted for (by different players) from the free-throw line.
- The WODSS Crusaders appear to be one of the teams now on the radar for the "upper tier" of the standings. Though they've only played two games, they've beaten Cameron Heights and now WCI by double-digits.
- The front-running SJAM Highlanders have outscored their opposition 170-61 through their first four games of the season.
