WCSSAA Senior: Highlanders, Gaels Continue Winning Ways

As we enter the final third of the WCSSAA Senior Girls' season, the Cameron Heights Golden Gaels and the SJAM Highlanders continue to lead the pack with unblemished league records.

Both clubs picked up wins again yesterday afternoon, all while getting another solid performance from one of their star players in the process.

SJAM's Kate Moran had a 23-point effort as the 'Landers went on the road and defeated Bluevale, 44-32.  Joanna Bamberger had 8 more for SJAM, while Zoey Scanling and Rachael Hamm had 8 each for the Knights.

At Cameron, Nina Farkic poured in 25 points to lead the Gaels to a 48-32 win over the Preston Panthers.  Andjela Stankovic netted 9 more for Cameron, while Claire Gagne was Preston's top performer, also with 9.
