DeLaSalle at St. Croix Lutheran
7:30 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 28

When DeLaSalle travels to St. Croix Lutheran on Thursday, the game will not only feature two of the state's top-ranked teams but also the division leaders in the Tri-Metro Conference.

The No. 1-3A Islanders (10-3, 4-0) sit atop the West Division and have rebounded from an early-season skid with an eight-game winning streak behind sophomore guard Gabe Kalscheur (20.2 ppg) and junior forward Goanar Mar (19.9 ppg).

The No. 1-2A Crusaders (16-2, 3-0) have put together an excellent season, with their losses coming against No. 1-1A Minneapolis North and No. 6-4A Wayzata. The senior backcourt duo of Ade Murkey (21.4 ppg) and Aage Rovney (16.2 ppg) has paced St. Croix Lutheran this season.
