LARGE SCHOOL BOYS

Cardinals protected their top ranking with victory over Montgomery on Monday night.
2. MONTGOMERY
Vikings will get another shot at Newman on Feb. 4.
3. ANALY
Tallest team in the Empire has won five straight. Can’t envision the Tigers losing a Sonoma County League game.
4. PINER
Vaulted into the rankings with a 16-point win over Healdsburg last Friday. Natu Hezchias one of the best players in the SCL.
5. HEALDSBURG
Last week was not a good one for the Greyhounds as they lost two of three and beat Petaluma by only two points.
GAME OF THE WEEK
First place in the SCL will likely be on the line when Piner visits Analy on Friday night.
LARGE SCHOOL GIRLS
1. SANTA ROSA
Panthers have won eight straight. Juniors Morgan Bertsch (15) and Katie Daly (10) lead the offense.

Lost to Santa Rosa by three points on Jan. 2. Vikings will get chance for revenge on Jan. 22 when Panthers visit.

Cardinals had 10-game winning streak snapped last Thursday at the hands of Maria Carrillo (38-28).

In the past month, seven of Gauchos’ last nine games have been decided by five points or fewer. Casa lost five of those.

GAME OF THE WEEK
Top-ranked Santa Rosa could get tested Friday night at Cardinal Newman.

During current five-game win streak, Eagles’ average margin of victory is 21 points. Garrett Robert had 17 points, 10 steals and eight assists in last Friday’s win over Technology.
