Video: MaxPreps Top 10 Games of the WeekElder (Cincinnati) at La Salle (Cincinnati)
Friday, 7 p.m. Eastern time Why it's big: Friday's winner will finish the regular season as co-champion of the Greater Catholic League South with St. Xavier. It would be the second title in a row for LaSalle, but the first since 2008 for Elder.
Elder got off to a 3-0 start this season but is only 3-3 over its last six games. The Panthers' backs are now against the wall, needing a win this week to guarantee a spot in the Division I state playoffs.
La Salle (8-1) has already clinched Division II's No. 1 playoff seed when it begins defense of last year's state championship next week.
