The last time Rosecrans (14-0) earned a number one ranking in 1999, the Bishops immediately fell in a trap-game at Bishop Watterson. This time around, Rosecrans pulled out the victory over their former C.C.L. opponent one day after being named the top ranked team in Division IV. However, it didn't come easy at the Eagles Nest. Bishop Watterson (3-10), who played unbeaten Bishop Hartley and St. Francis Desales to four and two-point games respectively, led by one with one minute to play. That'...
It wasn't easier for the Zanesville Blue Devils the second time around against East Liverpool, but it was still a victory. ZHS grabs their sixth win in a row, defeating the Potters for the second time this season, 69-58. Zanesville started out sluggish and didn't have the intensity that has defined their play in recent weeks, but still managed to defeat the Potters for the second time this season, this time while they were at full strength, with the return of PG Marky Tompkins.

Before the game, Zanesville head coach Scott Aronhalt preached to his kids the motto that this Blue Devil team has lived by all season: Set the Tempo.

Ask any coach and they will always say after a big win, it only matters until the next game, and in Newark's case it didn't get any bigger than a last second buzzer beater against Briggs. The Wildcats have now won two straight and seem to be gathering momentum. In the MVL Tri-Valley suffered their first loss of the season during a horrible shooting night in their game against Reynoldsburg, while Sheridan, John Glenn, and West M all picked up wins against no League foes.

Zanesville will next hit the court against Massillion Washington on Monday December 27.
