Roosevelt vs. St. John's, 5:30pm

Final Score:  49-47 (St. John's)

Leading Scorer: Roosevelt: Nierron Miles (14 points)

Player of the Game: St. John's: Ryan McNeil-Moses (13 points)

Bottom Line: St. John's continued its trend of turning up the heat in the second half as it found a way to knock off Roosevelt. This was a close game in which Roosevelt made many runs at the lead but couldn't quite get over the hump. Prince Okoroh entered the game late for Roosevelt and provided a spark but it was not enough to override Ryan McNeil-Moses and the St. John's Cadets.

Leading Scorer(s): Carroll: Kenny Cherry (13 points), Justin Alston (13 points), Parkville: Isaiah Trapp, and James Milton (13 points)

Player of the Game: Carroll: Justin Alston (13 points)

Bottom Line: Parkville jumped out on top in this but Carroll fought its way back into it. Justin Alston was very strong in the paint and once his team took the lead, there was no turning back.

Friendship vs. Long Reach, 7:50pm

Final Score: 64-49 (Friendship)

Leading Scorer/Player of the Game: Friendship: Desmond Stanback (19 points)

Bottom Line: It was a rough night for Long Reach as Friendship ran away with the win. Any time Long Reach came close to chipping away at the double-digit lead, Friendship would find some way to change gears whether in defensive strategy or offensive execution. Friendship junior guard Desmond Stanback played his hardest-outhustling his opponents and skillfully slicing through the defense for buckets. Led by his efforts and excellent ball movement, the Friendship Knights dominated the game.

Paul VI vs. Gonzaga, 9:00pm

Leading Scorer: Paul VI: Pat Halloway (16 points)

Player of the Game: The Gonzaga Eagles

Bottom Line: Gonzaga fought hard to beat Paul VI in a low-scoring, dog fight of a game. The Eagles overcame Paul VI guard Pat Halloway's outside shot (5 three pointers) to win 37-34.
