Stivers, Thurgood Battle for Top Spot Tonight; Rams stop Elks, Avaiators stay undefeated; Top 5 Games of Weekend

Even though its early in the season, we have reached a key point in the City League Hoop chase as the Holidays near. 

Heres the top games of the Weekend:

(1) Thurgood (4-1)  vs  Stivers  (5-0) 

2 Teams who figured to be sitting in this position have not dissapointed, as the Cougars held off Meadowdale at the buzzer to remain on a 4-game winning streak, while Stivers stayed undefeated behind the heroics of Junior Star G Trevon Ellis in a close win vs Ponitz.

Both teams have a plethora of talent who could make the difference. 

The intriguing notion?

This is Coach Shawn McCullough old alma mater, and was the last place he head coached before getting the Thurgood job. 

(2) Xenia   (3-0)    vs  Trotwood  (2-0) 

Can UC signee Samari Curtis continue his blistering play against the class of the GWOC?

The Rams feel snuffed, after hearing they were kicked out of the GWOC unceremoniously. 

They are showing no mercy and with superstar G Amari Davis averaging 29 a game, they will be ready for all challenges! 

(3) Springfield  (3-0)  @  Centerville.  (3-1)

Can the Field head to Centerville and get a big win over the angry Elks? Centerville lost to Trotwood and will be anxious to get back on the winning track.

Mo Nije scored jus 4 points against Trotwood, so look for him to explode. 

(4) Dunbar  vs.       Ponitz   

In a game that should go down to the wire, can Ponitz get a big win over a Dunbar squad who also needs a win? Both teams feature dynamic guards in Jaren Smith (Ponitz)  & Martel Smith (Dunbar) 

(5) Belmont  @ Northmont  (Saturday)
