This week’s top games:
No. 7 Cardinal Newman (6-1) at No. 5 Oxbridge Academy (3-0), 7 p.m. Tuesday: This will be the first game between the Crusaders and ThunderWolves since last year’s Class 4A regional semifinals – a game Oxbridge won 57-46 on the road. Like last year, the teams are grouped in the same district – 13-5A – and both will have plenty of motivation to get off to a good start in district play. The ThunderWolves and their talented backcourt remain unbeaten following a 53-47 victory over a very good Fort Lauderdale-Pine Crest team Dec. 6. The Crusaders won their first six games before falling 64-51 to Class 7A Palm Beach Lakes on Saturday.
No. 6 Palm Beach Lakes (6-1) at No. 3 Dwyer (5-1), 6 p.m. Friday: This key district contest features a trio of impact players in the Rams’ Lavorris Givins and the Panthers’ Miles Coleman and Tommie Luke. Both teams also have strong supporting casts, so expect a good one. Palm Beach Lakes has been on a roll since a season-opening loss to Royal Palm Beach, winning six in a row and handing No. 7 Cardinal Newman its first loss Saturday. Dwyer won five straight before falling 64-56 to Fort Lauderdale-University in the Southern Shootout Saturday in Fort Lauderdale.
