YTD: 23-4 (.851)There isn't a particular match-up today in the WCSSAA league that immediately jumps off the page, but I'd have to say the "game of the day" would be at KCI between the Raiders (0-3) and Elmira Lancers (2-2).
The Lancers have proven themselves to be competitive to this point, even against the "upper echelon" of the league, while the Raiders have played very well outside of league (including a win over JHSS to claim that tourney title) but are 0-3 in WCSSAA play to start the year.
Will the Raiders get on track here today? I think so....but they've been a thorn in my picks side to this point in the season. Regardless, KCI by 8.
Other games today:
Forest Heights (0-3) at Grand River (3-0)
My Pick: GRCI by 35
The Rens shouldn't have much trouble today continuing their WCSSAA winning streak.
Cameron Heights (4-0) at Huron Heights (1-3)
My Pick: CHCI by 27
The Gaels will put a quick end to any thought of a Huron Heights win streak, by winning their 5th straight league game here.
Galt (0-3) at Bluevale (3-1)
My Pick: BCI by 24
The Knights should prove too much for the Ghosts to scare away, especially in their home gym.
Eastwood (1-3) at WCI (3-1)
My Pick: WCI by 39
The perennial power Vikes have too much depth and offensive talent for the Rebels to handle here.
Southwood (3-1) at Preston (0-3)
My Pick: SSS by 11
As Mark Bryson mentioned in his blog yesterday, the small-school Sabres have impressed in most WCSSAA sports this season, and they are certainly the "feel good story" of the league to this point. Provided they aren't still celebrating their big win over KCI, I'll take them to win here.
WODSS (0-3) at SJAM (3-1)
My Pick: SJAM by 14
Big game for the Highlanders here, as they have some tough opponents coming up (CHCI, BCI, WCI). I think they'll pick up the win and put themselves in a good spot heading into that stretch.
