D8 Senior Wednesday: Playoff Picture Continues to Clear Up

After a full slate of games in the D8 Senior Girls' basketball league on Wednesday, the playoff picture is starting to take shape.

Two of the games played yesterday were between teams currently in the top 5 positions in the league standings.

In Waterloo, the Resurrection Phoenix improved to 7-0 and maintained their hold on first place following a 51-29 win over St. David (4-3).  The Celtics hung around a bit in the first half, but a big surge to start the second half for Rez helped them break the game open.

Krissia Vasquez and Meghan Sharpe had 9 each to lead Rez, while Megan Goar had a game-high 12 for the Celts.

St. Mary's, meanwhile, was able to pull out a 29-21 decision at Monsignor Doyle yesterday, keeping them in 3rd place in the 8-team circuit.  Brittany Gulic (9) led the Eagles while Vanessa Vint also had 9 for the 'Stangs.

Jamie Torrance Perks of Rockway had Wednesday's highest point output, tallying 21, but it wasn't enough as the Flames fell to Woodland 40-34.  Brooke Mulder had 13 to lead WCHS.

Lastly, St. Benedict was a 41-27 winner over PRDG, with Afifa Salaad (13) and Laura Ivits (9) leading the way.  Alliyah Rowe had 11 for PRDG in that one.
