WCSSAA Senior Tuesday: Standings Shake-Up As Gaels Top Rens

What a difference a week makes.

No, I'm not talking about becoming a new dad at this time last week, but rather the shake-up in the WCSSAA standings that have occurred over the past seven days.

In particular, the Grand River Renegades, who entered WCSSAA play last Thursday with an unblemished record, have now dropped two straight after a 65-57 home loss to Cameron Heights.

Sasha Simic poured in 26 points in the win, with Nik Farkic adding 10.  Vatrik Odouk (23) and David Bajic (12) topped the Renegade scoring.

The Rens now sit with two losses, tied with KCI (though the Rens have 7 wins to the Raiders' 6).  As a result of the KCI win over GRCI last week, it is the Raiders who now control their destiny the rest of the way (and would pass the Rens in the standings should KCI win out).  They have a decent schedule, with the biggest challenge appearing to come from rival WCI.  

Enough about that for now, as there's still plenty of time to play.

The Grand River loss was also good news for SJAM, who move into first-place after a 63-54 win at Eastwood.  Brett Parrott (21) and Simon Petrov (16) topped the 'Lander scoring while Cham Ujullu had 14 for the Rebs.

The aforementioned Raiders spread around the scoring in a 73-29 win at Elmira.  Seif Adan had 13 for KCI, while Dan Howell notched 11 for Elmira.

The WCI Vikings picked up a big win before starting the "murderers row" portion of their schedule, beating Huron Heights, 57-42.  Griffin Floto and Aaron Grubb had 9 each for the Vikes, while Arshid Babury also tallied 9 for Huron.

Preston won an all-Cambridge battle 50-43 over Southwood, topped by 14 points from Jaskaran Attwal.  Moiz Masud had 13 for the Sabres.

Galt's TJ Lall only had 14 points on Tuesday but the Ghosts didn't need his scoring prowess in a 45-31 win over Bluevale.  Ryan Clutton led the Knights with 7.
