? | Male's post-KOB momentum has been halted by consecutive losses to out-of-state competition, most recently to DNA Prep Academy out of California, despite sophomore star Jordan Mitchell going for 25. He's now scored 20+ in twelve straight games.

Despite the losses, Male has earned its top ranking inside state borders. Someone should remind the folks running the L.I.T. 

The disrespect…

 

? | No rest for the weary as St. X returned home from New York to welcome a nationally ranked opponent from the west coast. Previous California #1 St. Joseph, featuring multiple Top 100 prospects, had the Tigers by the tail with a one point lead with 18.7 remaining before Chief Cameron went solo and backdoored the X-Men to victory along the baseline in one of the best games of the new year. 

? | Josh Lindsay did Josh Lindsay things against St. Joseph. If there's a bouncier player in the state, I haven't seen him.

☘️ | Trinity locked down South Laurel to get back to .500 on the season. Garrison Gilvin’s game high 24 paced the Rocks, offensively. Gilvin has averaged 27 ppg over T’s last three.

♈ | Ahmad Shelton failed to log a double-double for the first time this season, but he's continued to reach double figures in rebounds in every game. He's one of Louisville's top glass cleaners at 12.5 per game.
