WCSSAA Junior: Lancers, Crusaders Continue Winning Ways

There's some good junior basketball being played on the periphery of the WCSSAA boundary.

Following the 3rd game date, both Elmira and Waterloo-Oxford are among the four remaining undefeated teams, and both have picked up victories in impressive fashion.

In fact, essentially all of their 6 combined wins have come by double-digits (EDSS defeated CHCI by 9 in their opener).

Yesterday reaffirmed their strong start, as the Lancers toppled Southwood 33-19 and WODSS cruised past Bluevale 54-18.

For the Crusaders, Madalyn Davidson and Madi Sadler had 10 points each in their win, while Avery Webster led Bluevale with 5.

Elmira received 8 from their season leading scorer Natalie Mayer and 10 more from Jaclyn Wideman in their home victory; Maddie Bannon had 4 for the Sabres.
