St. Paul Academy at No. 2-3A DeLaSalle
7 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 11

DeLaSalle is back at full strength and rolling, posting a dozen consecutive wins since the turn of the calendar. Senior forward Reid Travis (17.6 ppg), a Stanford recruit, is as skilled and strong as any player in the state and hopes to lead his Islanders to a third straight state title. In his absence earlier this winter, Sacar Anim (16.2 ppg) shouldered more offensive responsibility and makes the Islanders even more dangerous. Junior point guard Jarvis Johnson (12.9 ppg) continues to wow on a nightly basis with his athleticism and explosiveness. Into that cauldron steps St. Paul Academy, which will have its hands full slowing down DeLaSalle. If that Spartans rise to the challenge, it will likely come on the backs of hot-shooting forwards Harrisen Egly (17.7 ppg) and Ken Hanson (17.3 ppg) and rugged guard Dalante Peyton (12.8 ppg).
