Players of the week
Tyreek Duren continues to lead the nationally ranked Neumann-Goretti
Saints through an undefeated season, averaging 22 points over his last three
games.
It is hard to mention one without the other, so the La Salle guard tandem
of Troy Hockaday and Eddie Mitchell warrant Player of the Week
honors together. Double digit scoring was the standard for both as they led the
Explorers to three straight wins.
Game we all should have attended
Father Judge and first-year coach Sean Tait held off perennial
Catholic League power Roman Catholic in a 46-45 test of wills. A boisterous
crowd witnessed Reggie Charles convert 5 of 6 free throws in the 4th quarter to
secure the victory.

Ike Robinson of Conwell- Egan Catholic averaged over 21 points
while leading the Eagles to three consecutive league wins.

After a wonderful pregame memorial to the late great Eddie Burke,
which was attended by many of the local coaching legends, perennial rivals St.
Joseph's Prep and La Salle College High School squared off in a defense-oriented
overtime thriller that was fittingly decided on the foul line. The home team,
St. Joseph's Prep, walked away with a 52-49 victory.
