This should be a dandy on Friday. North beat South once last year, then lost to them the 2nd go round. It was the first time in a few years that the Jaguars had beaten the Cardinals.

I look for this one to be an all out war. South came back in the Hoopin It Up and dismantled the Jags. I am not sure North got over that loss all season long. I agree St. John's is the key to South Laurel. If the Jags can find a way to limit his touches and keep him off the boards they have a shot. It would be nice if they could also get a foul or two early so that they would have to defend him for as many minutes. I am sure South will face guard Seidel all over the court and rotate fresh players on him defensively. Not sure anyone in the region can stop him one on one once he catches the ball.

I agree. Shears has really stepped up his game, .. not just shooting, but he was inside battling for rebounds last night. I think his success in football this past season gave him more confidence and he is much more agressive. South still has plenty of weapons with Dean, Gilbert, Watkins and St John just to name a few. This should be a great game.

South by 3, should be a great game with a large crowd from both sides.

I can't figure why this game is slated for an 815pm start time.

It might be because freshman, jv and varsity are all playing tonight...

North by five.

South by 12.
