Taking on Southwind in Memphis seemed like a bit of a trap game for the Wolverines, but credit head coach Robert Smith for getting his troops refocused for a tough road test.
7. (8) Chester (Pa.) (15-0)The Clippers have won 41 games in a row and their last three by 26 points or more. Chester has held each of its last six opponents to 43 points or less.
8. (11) Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) (17-2)The Monarchs should get a tough test this week from St. John Bosco (Bellflower) and high-scoring Hamilton brothers Isaac (25.8 points, 11.7 rebounds per game) and Daniel (18.3 points, 8.5 rebounds per game).
9. (6) DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.) (16-2)Don't expect a repeat of last season, when the Stags started 12-0 only to lose nine games after the New Year. Head coach Mike Jones and his senior trio of
Marcellous Bell,
Jerami Grant and
James Robinson are too good and too determined to let that happen.
10. (9) Southwind (Memphis, Tenn.) (20-2)Though the Jags fell to Simeon, they came away with a big victory last week against then-No. 10 and previously undefeated Ridgeway (Memphis).
