This Week's Big Showdown

One of the hottest tickets last week involved the clash between Skutt Catholic (4th in the power rankings) and Columbus (13th).

Skutt Catholic's offense might have been extra motivated to turn things around after difficulties scoring in its previous game.

Can't Touch This
