re: NCAA classifies 7th graders as prospects

The CSAL BB leagues of Baton Rouge look as strong as ever. After seeing most of the teams on the list play either Friday or Saturday, here are my up to date standings.

8th Grade..
1. St. George
2. St. Jude
3. Parkview Baptist
4. OLOM
5. Sacred Heart
6. STM

7th Grade...
1. St. George
2. Sacred Heart
3. St. Jude
4. OLOM
5. STM
6. St. Aloysius
7. St. Alphonsus

In 8th grade, St. Jude coached by Tommy Hodson made a big statement today with a victory over a suprisingly big Parkview Baptist team led by J McGinnis and #40 (unknown). St. Jude will meet St. George in the much anticipated SGS tournament 8th grade finals on Monday night. St. Jude is led by point guard David Losavio and a host of solid role players. St. George is led by Bobby Mikitinas, Christian Brusavich Jordan Long and Christopher Peck.

In 7th grade, St. George still looks like the team to beat but Sacred Heart and OLOM have shown themselves very competitive during the last week. SGS has beaten Sacred Heart once and OLOM twice in competitive contests during the last 10 days. St. Jude is a hard team to predict as they have plenty of size but moves down a notch after losing to Sacred Heart on Saturday. St. George has alot of talent and has the most depth of the teams in this division. The team looks to be 10 deep and is led by a strong backcourt of N Whalen, W Cotten and A Arceneux along with a dominant front court of B Pinner, R Issa and A Theriot. This team could be one of the best seen on the CSAL trails. Sacred Heart is lead by the tandem of R Brundage and Hunter (unk). While St. Jude is led by a talented guard forward combination of Shexnayder and Daniels. St. George and Sacred Heart meet for round 2 in the finals of the SGS tournament on Monday night.
