Rocky River-Indy showdown Tuesday highlights busy week of games; full week’s schedule
Rocky River (17-4, 10-2 Southwestern 4A) at Independence (21-1, 12-0), Tues, 7:30: With two games left to play, Independence can win at least a share of the league title at home Tuesday. Rocky River can lock up second place with a win and keep its title hopes alive.
Ardey Kell (18-4, 9-2 SoMeck) at Olympic (16-3, 9-0), Tues, 7:30: Olympic was scheduled to play Berry Monday night and a win would lock up a share of the conference title. A Berry win, combined with a win in this big matchup Tuesday, would win the league outright for Olympic. Ardrey Kell has won five straight and can its title hopes alive with an upset.
Cannon (14-14, 4-4 CISAA) at Providence Day (22-9, 7-1), Tues, 7:30: To win a sixth straight CISAA championship, Providence Day must beat a Cannon team that features top 100 national recruit Jairus Hamilton and stop a surging Charlotte Country Day team Friday. Cannon looks to bounce back from a heartbreaking loss in three overtimes to Charlotte Christian (20-8, 7-1) at home Friday.
Marvin Ridge (17-5, 11-1) at Charlotte Catholic (18-3, 13-0 Southern Carolinas 3A), Fri, 7:30: The Cougars have already clinched a share of the league championship and have won 10 straight games. To earn a share of the title, Marvin Ridge -- which has won seven straight -- must win at Unionville Piedmont Tuesday night and win at Charlotte Catholic on Friday. No easy task.
