St. Thomas Academy at Cretin-Derham Hall
7:15 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 23

Cretin-Derham Hall won its first four games, but enters this showdown on a losing streak that reached three games with a 61-41 loss to Park of Cottage Grove on Dec. 19.

That was quite a bump in the road for a Cretin-Derham Hall club that had aspirations of improving on last season's fourth-place finish in the state Class 4A tournament.

The Raiders rely on a pair of outstanding scorers in Joe Rosga (22.6 ppg) and Sam Neumann (20.9 ppg).

The No. 7-3A Cadets are on a three-game winning streak and have a 6-1 record behind the play of Ryan Jacobsen (21.7 ppg), Nate Chaffee (14.1 ppg) and Kai Endahl (11.7 ppg).

Cretin-Derham Hall notched a 67-54 win over St. Thomas Academy last season.
