Not much stands in the way of the NCISAA 2A state title for Northside. The Knights wrap up the regular season this week against SouthLake Christian Academy (Huntsville) and Westminster Catawba Christian (Rock Hill, S.C.).
7. (20) St. John's (Washington, D.C.), 18-1The Cadets make the biggest leap in the rankings after winning five games last week, including four against teams in the upper half of the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference. The highlight was a 71-68 win over No. 11 Paul VI – avenging the only loss of the year for St. John's.
8. (16) Loyola (Los Angeles), 21-1The Cubs were hungry for revenge Friday against Mission League rival Chaminade (West Hills), who won a Jan. 10 meeting 73-61. Loyola got what it was looking for this time around with a 54-41 win as Arizona-bound point guard
Parker Jackson-Cartwright led the way with 16 points and seven assists.
9. (6) Arsenal Technical (Indianapolis), 17-2Hamilton Southeastern (Fishers) snapped Tech's 16-game win streak Saturday with a 77-71 victory. The Titans still have an impressive resume from a national perspective with wins over No. 10 La Lumiere, No. 19 Huntington St. Joseph Prep (twice) and Kentucky state title contender Ballard of Louisville.
10. (10) La Lumiere (LaPorte, Ind.), 17-2There isn't a lot to get excited about remaining on La Lumiere's schedule. The Lakers should earn a spot in the Dick's Sporting Goods High School National Tournament at Madison Square Garden in April.
