GAME OF THE WEEK: Abington Friends 59, Academy New Church 57 (2 OTs) - It nearly slipped away. The Roos built up a small halftime lead over the Lions and led most of the way. But the Lions caught them in the the fourth quarter behind the 18 points from Darryl Bryant. But junior Jordan Greene was there save the game for the Roos, not once, not twice, but three times. Crucial buckets in overtime and a total of 14 points helped the Friends' League squad squeak out a win.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Kareem Boyd (Pottsgrove) - The Falcons are happy to have Boyd back in the fold. After missing a handful of games the senior is starting to settle into the starting lineup. Make it back-to-back to games for the 5-10 guard with over 20 points in wins. Boyd dropped 24 against crosstown rival Pottstown. With the senior starting to score with ease the Falcons could be a sleeper for league title contention.
