WCSSAA Senior: CHCI's Farkic, WO's Glendinning Continue Impressive Seasons; Moran Heating Up

Nina Farkic (CHCI)

There aren't too many seasons on record where a Senior Girls' leading scorer averages more than 20 PPG in WCSSAA league play.

This year, for the first time in a long time, there's the potential that we could see two -- or even more -- crack that 20 PPG mark.

Guard Nina Farkic of Cameron Heights is currently leading the scoring race, pouring in 21.8 PPG to this point in the season.  She's scored in double-figures in all 8 games, with two 30+ efforts (33 and 34) and another two games of 20+ (23 and 25).

Waterloo-Oxford is probably a year or two away from having some team success at the senior girls' level, but Emily Glendinning has been a bright spot in their season to this point.  Glendinning is right behind Farkic at a 20.9 PPG clip, which includes a season-high of 31 points, and three more games in the "high 20s" -- 26, 26, and 29.

Personally, I think those numbers are even more impressive given the fact that opposing teams know that those girls are ones to try to limit on the offensive end --- they get a lot of attention, but still manage to pile up the points.

Given Cameron Heights' team success (unbeaten to this point in the season), Farkic is considered a legitimate MVP candidate.

The other player that is currently warranting some serious consideration, playing for the league's other unbeaten team, is only in grade 10.

SJAM's Kate Moran has come on as of late, scoring 20+ points in 3 of SJAM's last 4 games.  Furthermore, she's been doing it against some of the better teams in the WCSSAA league, including WCI, Jacob Hespeler, and Bluevale.

I don't have Moran's full scoring details from all games this season, but I'd believe she'd be sitting in the 15-17 PPG range -- so she could certainly be another 20+ per game scorer if she continues her recent trend over SJAM's remaining games.
