Rankings are as follows:
JUNIOR
1. North Park (Brantford - D5 Champions)
2. Southwood (WCSSAA Finalist)
3. St. James (D10 Champions)
4. Jacob Hespeler (WCSSAA Semifinalist)
5. KCI
6. Monsignor Doyle
7. Pauline Johnson
8. Grey Highlands
Thoughts: It gets pretty weak after the top 5. Monsignor Doyle didn't even make the D8 playoffs this year, so I think we'll see some first round blowouts. JHSS should handle KCI with ease as well in the 4/5 game.
St. James is a team to watch. They've beaten Bishop Mac in the playoffs (perhaps one of the top 2 junior teams in CWOSSA), and won the final over JF Ross. They're peaking at the right time, and have hit 16 threes in their last 2 games. Impressive stuff at the junior level.
My picks:
(1) North Park over (8) Grey Highlands
(2) SSS over (7) PJ
(3) St. James over (6) MDCSS
(4) JHSS over (5) KCI
Semifinals:
(3) St. James over (2) SSS
(1) North Park over (4) JHSS
Final:
(1) North Park over (3) St. James
SENIOR
1. North Park (D5 Finalist)
2. KCI (WCSSAA Champions)
3. Brantford CI
4. St. David (D8 Champions)
5. Galt
6. Elmira
7. West Hill
8. Centre Dufferin
Thoughts: Surprised that North Park takes the #1 spot over KCI, but both teams should likely make the final.
My picks:
(1) NP over (8) CDDHS
(2) KCI over (7) West Hill
(3) Brantford CI over (6) Elmira
(4) St. David over (5) Galt
Semifinals:
(1) NP over (4) St. David
(2) KCI over (3) Brantford
Final:
(2) KCI over (1) North Park
Typo of the Day
Mark Bryson's K-W Record article on the KCI victory says that KCI will be taking on "Toronto's West Hill Collegiate" in the first round of the CWOSSA championship.
See his article here.
Toronto's West Hill does come up first on a google search, but the team actually participating at CWOSSA will be West Hill Secondary School of Owen Sound. West Hill is the largest school in the Bluewater board, with approximately 1200 students.

District 8 Sweeps "A" CWOSSA
The D8 league came away with both "A" CWOSSA titles yesterday afternoon.
In the junior league, the PRDG Chevaliers from Cambridge took the crown with a 31-22 victory over Delhi DHS. PRDG earlier defeated Waterford by a 46-41 count in the semifinals.
On the senior girls side, the Rockway Flames won yet another title with relative ease. The Flames doused Delhi 64-26 in their semifinal game, and then took down Walkerton in the final, 46-20.
The Flames now advance to the Senior Girls "A" OFSAA Championships, which take place next week in Cornwall.
St. Mary's Senior Boys Beat Bluevale, Junior Huskies beat Eagles
The St. Mary's Eagles defeated Bluevale CI in an OT thriller yesterday evening. Don't have any more details at this time, but the few exhibition games that have been played between "top tier" teams thus far have all been close. Yes, it's early, and some teams are still missing guys with fall sports going on.....but hoepfully that's a sign of parity and will lead to an exciting race for the CWOSSA crown and the OFSAA berths.
In junior action, Huron Heights dumped St. Mary's --- is this a sign that Huron is up this year or that Mary's is down? Time will tell.
Forest Heights Senior Boys off to Hamilton
The Senior FHCI Trojans will be making a visit to Hamilton this weekend to participate in the Parkside Senior Boys Tournament.
The 8 team tournament is as follows:
(Today - Nov 20th)
10am - St. Mary's (Hamilton) vs Parkside
11:30am - Forest Hts vs Holy Trinity (Oakville)
1pm - Cathedral vs Westdale
2:30pm - St. Christopher's (Sarnia) vs Nelson
....needless to say, a tough draw for the Trojans. The Titans of Holy Trinity are one of the better teams in the Golden Horseshoe, so it will be a tough one to win. That said, it's nice to see them challenging themselves against high-calibre competition in an early season tourney after not being selected for the Heinbuch.
D10, D8 Schedules Start Next Week
The D10 league schedule is set for tip-off next week, with a key game almost right off the bat on Wednesday, November 25th. The Centennial Spartans will travel down the Hanlon to battle the Bishop Macdonell Celtics in a battle of two teams that many predict will battle for the league crown.
The D8 schedule has 3 games on Wednesday the 25th as well --- Resurrection @ Rockway, St. Mary's @ St. David (in a key early season Senior match-up), and a Cambridge clash between St. Bendict and Monsignor Doyle.
