WCSSAA Senior Girls: Competitive Balance Continues

The documented "competitive balance" in the WCSSAA Senior Girls' league continued this week.

For starters, the Preston Panthers were able to use a late surge to get an impressive home win over the visiting WCI Vikings on Tuesday, 36-34.  Areesha Shahnawaz had a strong performance for the Panthers in that one, pouring home 16 points.

Preston may just be coming into their own at the right time (the Panthers last week fell to defending champion SJAM by only 6 points, 46-40).

Waterloo-Oxford continues to rule the roost at the top of the standings, following a couple of dominating wins this week -- an eye-opening 59-20 mark over Grand River and a 58-19 verdict over rival Elmira.

It was not a good week for the Rens, who also dropped a 41-26 decision at home to Jacob Hespeler.  The Hawks, though, had a week to remember with two big road wins, including an earlier low-scoring 27-22 count over Bluevale.

In looking at the top scoring performances of the week, it was quite a week for Galt's Beth Fleming, who scored 25+ in back to back outings.  Here's a look at those:
