D8: Wednesday Picks & Tuesday Result

I'm 5-5 in D8 picks, but I think that might change today.

For starters, I see the St. Mary's Eagles (2-1) handling the Rockway Flames (1-2) with ease.  I'll go with St. Mary's by 27 in that one.

Meanwhile, the Resurrection Phoenix (4-0) face the upstart Woodland Cavaliers (3-0) with first place on the line.  I won't pick against Rez again, and I'll take them in a 23 point win.

Also, St. Benedict swept an all-Cambridge doubleheader with Monsignor Doyle in D8 play yesterday.  The senior win was the Saints' first of the season and kept them in the hunt for a playoff berth.

The seniors won 37-22 (scoring details were unavailable), while the juniors took their game by a 47-27 final.

Kayla Leusink netted 19 and Afifa Salaad 15 for SBCSS, while Alison Flanagan had 9 and Yasmine Smith 7 for Doyle.

Senior WCSSAA Tuesday: Hawks Knock Trojans From Unbeaten Ranks

The Jacob Hespeler Hawks are coming together nicely.

After winning the tournament championship at the "Shoot For the Cure" event in Guelph this past weekend, JHSS took things to the visiting Forest Heights Trojans, handing them their first WCSSAA loss in a 52-24 romp.

Grade 10's Courtney Wright (18 points) and Candice Wright (15 points) led the way for the Hawks on Tuesday; Blair McNaughton had a solid effort for the Trojans as she finished with 17.

Here's a look at the other scores on Tuesday:

WCI 65, KCI 23
My Pick:  WCI by 27
The Vikes rolled in another battle of the unbeatens, thanks in part to Lindsay Taylor (27) and Alex Klein (17).  Olivia Nelles had 8 and Christiana Koebel 7 for the Raiders.

Elmira 29, Eastwood 26
My Pick:  EDSS by 9
The Lancers pick up their first win of the year, although it certainly wasn't easy in this defensive affair.  Krista Wiens had 9 to lead Elmira, with Amy Hachman contributing 7.  Mel Samuel had a game-high 10 for ECI, while Meagan Karai netted 8.

Waterloo-Oxford 57, Southwood 45
My Pick:  WODSS by 17
The high-scoring Crusader backcourt was at it again on Tuesday, as Maddy Horst poured in 26 points while Becca Payne added 14 and WODSS stayed undefeated.  Taylor White had 16 and Nicole Barnard 13 for Southwood.

SJAM 32, Preston 29
My Pick:  PHS by 5
My lone incorrect selection on Tuesday was this game that I thought would be tight.  Malena McCrossan (9) and Kate Fowler (8) topped the 'Lander scoring, while Ashley White (16) and Breanna Johnson (12) accounted for virtually all of the Panther points.

Grand River 50, Glenview Park 26
My Pick:  GRCI by 19
Kailey DeBoer had 12 points to lead the Rens to their second league win of the season.  Jocelyn Kivell poured in a game-high 15 for Glenview in a losing effort.

Cameron Hts. 57, Galt 21
My Pick:  CHCI by 31
Liz McLellan (24) hit for more points than the Ghosts on Tuesday, while fellow Gael Kayla Batista added 8.  Melissa Smith (8) and Ashlyn Beckman (4) were the top Galt scorers.

Bluevale 59, Huron Heights 34
My Pick:  BCI by 33
Grade 10 Kailee Sawyer had 18 points while Natalie Bishop added 14 and the Knights also remain unbeaten after a win at HHSS.  Aly Jacobs had 10 and Jenna Gangl 9 for Huron.

WCSSAA: Tuesday Picks

YTD WCSSAA Record:  30-2 (.938)

There will be one less "undefeated" team in the WCSSAA league after today, as WCI plays cross-town rival KCI; both teams enter that tilt at 4-0.  Also, one more team will join the win column with a game between Eastwood (0-3) and Elmira (0-4).

A couple other games that look solid on paper, so let's get to it:

Forest Heights (4-0) at Jacob Hespeler (3-1)
**Game of the Day**
My Pick:  JHSS by 12
Should be the "best game" on the schedule today; JHSS should win at home provided that they can find a way to contain FHCI's top scorer, Blair McNaughton.

Eastwood (0-3) at Elmira (0-4)
My Pick:  EDSS by 9
These teams are both better than their records would indicate; edge goes to the homecourt Lancers.

Waterloo-Oxford (4-0) at Southwood (2-1)
My Pick:  WODSS by 17
The Southwood Sabres are good.  The WODSS Crusaders are VERY good.  

WCI (4-0) at KCI (4-0)
My Pick:  WCI by 27
KCI has had a soft schedule to this point, with the teams that they have played in their four games combining for just 2 wins.  WCI should continue to roll with a win here.

Bluevale (4-0) at Huron Hts. (0-4)
My Pick:  BCI by 33
The Knights slipped up on the weekend, but I look for them to continue their strong play in the WCSSAA league with a "W" in this one.

Glenview Park (0-4) at Grand River (1-3)
My Pick:  GRCI by 19
The Rens need this win badly, as they go back to playing some more "upper tier" teams starting on Thursday with Bluevale.  I think Coach Reynolds will have them ready to go and they'll move to 2-3.

Cameron Hts. (3-1) at Galt (0-4)
My Pick:  CHCI by 31
Cameron Heights should cruise to a 4th win in 5 games at the expense of the Galt Ghosts.

Preston (1-3) at SJAM (1-3)
My Pick:  PHS by 5
Toss-up here that could affect my overall record, but I'll go with Ashley White and the Panthers on the road today. 

D10: Tuesday Picks

YTD D10:  13-2 (.867)

Three games on tap today, though the schedule will have games tomorrow and Thursday as well.  Here's a look:

Centre Wellington (1-2) at Bishop Mac (4-0)
My Pick:  BMAC by 24
The (tied for) first-place Celtics will continue their winning ways at home today against CW.

Centennial (1-3) at Lourdes (4-0)
My Pick:  OLOL by 19
Assuming the Crusaders don't have a huge tournament hangover after their 2OT loss to Jacob Hespeler over the weekend, they should move to 5-0 with a win at home today.

Guelph CVI (1-3) at JF Ross (1-2)
My Pick:  JFR by 13
The Royals are better than their 1-2 record would indicate; they'll move back in the right direction starting today with a hard-fought win over GCVI.

D8: Monday Results

Don't look now, but the new kids on the block are spoiling the party.

The Woodland Cavaliers, making a return to D8 senior girls' basketball this year, moved to 3-0 on the season after getting past the St. Benedict Saints 32-31 on the road yesterday evening.

Kirstin Hofstee (8) and Emma Roorda (8) led the way for WCHS, while Hilary Ferguson had a game-high 13 points and Brooke Wanklin netted 12.

Meanwhile, what was supposed to be a close game didn't turn out as such as the St. Mary's Eagles could not contain Rez's scoring machine, Sarah Schulz.  Schulz poured in 24 points, equalling the Eagles outpout in a 45-24 win.  Andrea Phillippi (7) and Sara Fleiszig (6) also had solid outings for Rez, while Sydney Greulich (6) and Monica Januszek (6) paced St. Mary's.

On the junior side, Resurrection stayed undefeated (5-0) with a big 56-30 win over St. Mary's.  Celia McGlynn (21) paced Rez while Kelsey Caza added 8.  Sara Jankovic (8), Brittany Gulic (6) and Becca Siewert (6) were the top St. Mary's scorers.

Monsignor Doyle moved to 3-2 with a win over PRDG (40-14).  Victoria Borrosso netted 16 while Erin Van Kooy added 14 in the win; Sylvie Carruthers and Christine Boileau had 4 each for PRDG.

The other two games weren't close as St. David routed Rockway to the tune of 45-6, thanks to 13 points from Bobbi-Sue Hentges and 12 from Heather Sandall.  Meanwhile, St. Benedict dumped Woodland 52-19, with Afifa Salaad contributing 19 for the Saints and Julianna Thompson netting 10 for WCHS.

St. Mary's Grad Thompson Heads To Prep School In Iowa

6'2" St. Mary's ('12) grad Alex Thompson, a former D8 MVP and 1st Team All-Star, has signed on with ABCD Prep School located in Urbandale, Iowa.

Thompson is one of two Canadians on the ABCD Roster, which also features 7 Europeans and 2 Americans.

For more information, you can see their schedule and roster on ABCD's Website (Click link).

Here's a look at Thompson playing during the AAU/NPSAA (last) season with Tri-County Academy:

D8: Monday Picks

YTD:  5-3 (.625)

Woodland CHS (2-0) at St. Benedict (0-2)
My Pick:  SBCSS by 7
Woodland has had the "easier schedule" thus far (Rockway & MDCSS), while St. Benedict has had to take on Rez and St. Mary's.  The Saints should take this one today though, especially at home.

Resurrection (3-0) at St. Mary's (2-0)
My Pick:  SMHS by 3
First place up for grabs in the D8 league today (pending the WCHS result), and I'll give this toss-up to the St. Mary's Eagles by a three-ball.

CCVI Tourney: Lions Take Out Crusaders En Route To Tournament Title

If the (CWOSSA #2) Assumption Lions and the (CWOSSA #6) Waterloo-Oxford Crusaders can play that well in a 9am game on a Saturday morning, just imagine if the game had been at a more "friendly" hour of the day.

Both teams were clicking on offense and piled up the points (including 70 combined in the first half) as the Lions held off a late WODSS surge to win 68-61 in the game played at Centennial CVI in Guelph.

Both teams started strong, with Assumption using their well-tuned fastbreak offense to get a few easy looks in the early going and take a 10-4 lead.  However, the Crusaders got 7 from Maddy Horst in the quarter to take an 18-16 lead after one.

Assumption's Abby Heron had a great second quarter, hitting a couple of lay-ups and knocking in several mid-range jumpers; she finished the first half with 15 points as the Lions assumed a 40-30 lead.

WODSS shot a respectable 44.4% in the first half, and they certainly played well --- but the Lions were on fire, going 19-for-30 (63.3%) in the opening 16 minutes.  

The Crusaders would maintain contact in the third quarter, and they started strong early.  Becca Payne nailed a three-pointer off a steal to start the second half, quickly trimming the deficit back down to single digits (40-33).  The teams would trade baskets for the next few minutes, until a deep (and I mean a good 2' behind the line) three-pointer by Jerika Baldin pushed things back up to 10 (50-40) with 3:00 left.

It looked as though the Lions would seize some momentum off of that, as they pushed things out to 54-40 before WODSS' Hope Eagleson made a nice drive and lay-up stemmed the tide before the end of the third quarter, which finished 56-42 in favour of the Lions.

Of course, if you thought it would be over there --- you were wrong.

WODSS was able to keep the deficit in the neighbourhood of 10 points through the first four minutes, and a Payne lay-up and a Maddy Horst free throw cut things to 7 before Emily Gill made an Assumption basket to bump things to 62-53.

The ensuing possession, though, was huge for the Crusaders as Alisha Glendinning was fouled --- making her first free-throw attempt while teammate Kyla Burrough gathered in the offensive rebounded and put back the second attempt, making this a 6-point game with two minutes to go.

After a Rikayla Baldin lay-in, WODSS guard Maddy Horst tried her best to bring the Crusaders back, knocking down a three from the corner and adding a two-point jumper off a steal; this flurry cut things to 64-61 with 1:11 to go.

Unfortunately for Crusader fans in attendance, that's as close as they would get as an Emily Gill putback and a couple Assumption free-throws iced it in a 68-61 final.

Though Assumption held her in check during the second half, Abby Heron was sensational at both ends of the floor, leading the Lions with 19 points on a blistering 9-of-11 from the floor.  She added 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

Grade 9 PG Rikayla Baldin was impressive in pushing the ball and igniting Assumption's fast-break offense; she had an equally impressive statline, going 6-for-8 from the floor for 14 points, while dropping 7 assists.

Also on the scoresheet for Assumption were Emily Gill (11), Sara Harris (10), Jerika Baldin (7), and Alex Van Dyk (7).

The terrific backcourt of Becca Payne (18 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist) and Maddy Horst (16 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists) led the way for the Crusaders.  The duo combined to hit 7 threes, shooting nearly 50% from deep in the process (7-of-15).

Alisha Glendinning (9), Tess Pettigrew (6), Hope Eagleson (a nice 6 point, 6 rebound effort off the bench), Libby Brenneman (4) and Kyla Burrough (2) rounded out the Crusader scoring.

On a personal note, this was arguably one of the most entertaining and exciting senior girls' games that I've been to ---- and I've seen my fair share.  It had a bit of everything, including good offense, good defense, and solid all-around play by both teams.  If these teams can play like they did on Saturday, they can certainly make some noise in league playoffs and at "AAAA" CWOSSA.

Meanwhile, Assumption dominated Kitchener Resurrection 78-37 in the tournament's championship final.  Abby Heron (20), Alex Van Dyk (12) and Jerika Baldin (11) were all in double figures in that one.

Senior: Hawks Soar to "Battle For the Cure" Championship

The Jacob Hespeler Hawks got all they could handle in both their games on Saturday, but ended up walking away from the University of Guelph with a tournament title, taking the annual Gryphon-Celtic "Battle for the Cure" final in a double-overtime thriller, 57-55 over the Lourdes Crusaders.

The tournament actually featured 4 CWOSSA teams ranked in my most recent "top 10".

Brooklyn Wright was phenomenal in the final, pouring in 22 points (and doing a nice job on the boards), while rookie Monica Trimble poured in a game-high 23 for Lourdes.

The Hawks held off the tournament hosts, Bishop Mac, 38-31 in the semifinal, paced by Candice Wright's 14 and Brooklyn Wright's 12.  Andrea Priamo had 6 for the Celts.

Lourdes came back in the second half to take out another Guelph school, JF Ross, 46-43 in the other semifinal.  Monica Trimble (17) and Hannah Pearsall (13) led the way for the Crusaders, while Sydney Resch (14) and Julia Robertson (10) were both in double figures for Ross.

Junior, Senior Lancers Win Titles at Home Tournament

The junior and senior Elmira Lancers came away with a tournament title sweep in their 9th annual tournament this past weekend.

That said, both squads faced challenging games in their final round-robin contests.

The junior Lancers got all they could handle from Guelph JF Ross in the first half, before going on a 10-point run in the third quarter which would prove to be the final margin of victory in a 42-32 final.

The senior Lancers, meanwhile, played a game that was tight throughout but free-throws down the stretch helped solidify a 41-32 win over Chatham's Ursuline College.

Here's a recap of the other scores:

Elmira 28, Stratford NW 19
