D10 Tuesday Recap: Senior Royals Take Important Opener

In a Senior Girls' battle between two teams expected to be among the "upper echelon" in the D10 standings, the JF Ross Royals went on the road and picked up an important win, 43-33 over the Bishop Macdonell Celtics.

Ali Darling poured in 20 points for Ross in the win, while Rachael DiGravio was tops for the Celtics with 12.

There were two other games on Tuesday on the Senior side (as mentioned yesterday, St. James will not be fielding a team this season, so Orangeville had a bye on the opening day).

Guelph CVI got past Centennial 37-29 at home, backed by 13 points each from Sydney Wilson and Emina Bektic.  Carter Godman and Lauren Zonneveld accounted for almost all of the Centennial scoring, notching 13 points each themselves.

Lourdes posted a big 66-25 win over CWDHS in their opener, with Rainey Psenicka netting 16 and Hannah McIntosh adding 15.  Grace Rooney had 12 for the Falcons.

Junior
There were three reported scores from yesterday's games to discuss at the time of posting, with the closest one being a 1-point thriller between St. James and Orangeville (the Lions took it, 30-29).  Lauralee Mackeigan had 10 for the Lions, while Hannah Bellai put home a game high 12 for the Bears.

Bishop Mac cruised past JF Ross, 53-18.  Lauren Silvestro and Ashley Coverdale had 8 each for a very balanced Celtic scoresheet, as they had eight players score 4+ points.  Alisha Lewis had a game high 14 for Ross.

The other tilt on Tuesday saw Centennial defeat GCVI 37-9.  Abby Cain had 11 for the winners, while four Gaels hit for buckets in the loss.
