Mounds View at No. 8 Cretin-Derham Hall
7:15 p.m., Friday, Jan. 31

Here’s yet another top conference battle, this time in the Suburban East Conference when Mounds View visits Cretin-Derham Hall. The Mustangs currently sit in third place, two games behind Cretin-Derham Hall for the league lead. Both teams have an outstanding 15-3 record, although the Raiders took a 106-72 decision in their first meeting on Dec. 20. In that game, Joe Rosga (18.5 ppg) dumped in 31 points for Cretin, while Sam Neumann (21.3 ppg) added 16 points. They’ve been the catalysts for the Raiders all season along with Tartan transfer and creative point guard Donnell Gresham (11.7 ppg). Ryan Kaczynski (21.1 ppg) scored 26 points and Ben Spencer (9.4 ppg) added 13 points for the Mustangs. Mounds View has won 10 straight since that loss to Cretin, led by the explosive Kaczynski.
