Had a bye this past weekend. They play St. Mary of Avon on Saturday, then could have another game on Sunday should they beat St. Mary.

St. Albert the Great (9-0) no change

Had a bye this past weekend. The Mustangs play Sacred Heart of Lorain on Saturday, and should they win, play the winner of St. Bartholomew (Evans) and St. Bartholomew (Bruce) on Sunday.

Gesu Bulldogs (8-4) no change

Had a bye this past weekend. They play #7 Sts. Joseph and John on Saturday ina marquee game. A win here will most likely put them up against the Blue division winner, Sacred Heart of Jesus.

St. Paschal (9-4) no change

Had a bye this past weekend. The Knights face off against a good St. Albert Mustangs team on Saturday. A big win here will give them the chance to play the Red division winner Elyria Catholic on Sunday.

St. Greg (8-4) no change

Had a bye this past weekend. They will play St. Francis Xavier on Saturday, which they should be able to win. This will give them the opportunity to presumably play the 216ers in one of the biggest games of the season.

St. Albert Mustangs (5-4) up 4

The Mustangs got a very nice win this weekend, beating Lake Catholic 61-32. This was a crucial win for them, as they had lost their previous two games. Their win last Saturday pits them against a tough St. Paschal team this upcoming Saturday, a game that could potentially spur them to a Cinderella run through the Tournament.

Sts. Joseph and John (5-4) down 1

SJJ had a tough time against a team they probably should have routed, only winning by 6. They now face Gesu, and if they want a chance to knock them off they need to put up a lot more points. That said, the Vikes have a serious chance of knocking the Bulldogs off their pedestal.

St. Mary of the Falls (8-5) down 1

Season complete. Chose not to enter the city tournament.

St. Mark (5-4) up 2

The Lions got a big win over the weekend, pulling the 5-4 upset over St. Joe Avon Lake (McGrath). They defeated the Vikings 73-69, and now face off against the Orange division champions, Assumption. If St. Mark can pull off an even bigger upset this time, they could streak all the way to a title.

St. Bernadette (2-6) down 1

Season complete. Did not qualify for the state qualifying tournament.

OLA (5-4) down 3

Season complete. Did not qualify for the city tournament.

Gesu Jazz (2-6) no change

Season complete. Did not qualify for the city tournament.

St. Joseph (2-9) no change
