Serious question, are there only 8 total teams?
9 teams in league play this year. MBS and STM didn't have the numbers to field 8th grade teams this season, unfortunately.

There are currently 18 schools that make up the CSAA. There were a few more back in the day but a few either shutdown (i.e. St. Louis King of France) or left CSAA (i.e. Holy Ghost). This year some of the 8th grade teams are only playing JV (the old CYO) and not Varsity (the old CSAL.)

Not really any other than the usual suspects though, right? St Elizabeth is, but that's a small school with mixed grades playing up. SFX is only doing JV, but that's typical also.
Holy Family, STM, MBS, Catholic PC, Redepmtorist, Sacred Heart all have no league basketball (v or jv) of any kind for 8th grade this year.

they’ve been hit with two significant injuries to their starting point guard and center.
Every injury is significant in CSAL.
Sprained ankle - Out for the year
Jammed thumb - Out 4-6 weeks

Updated Rankings (Previous Ranking in Parenthesis):
1. St. George (1) - The Dragons beat the Blue Jays by 3 to win the SJV tournament after suffering a loss to them the day before. They also narrowly defeated the Blue Jays in a regular season matchup earlier in the week. They continue to show they are the most well-rounded team.
2. OLOM (2) - The Blue Jays look firmly in the 2 spot for now after another impressive week. They will take on a pesky St. Theresa team in the 1st round of the SGS tournament.
3. CHS (4) - The Bears continue to improve, but couldn't quite get over the St. George hump. Rumor is they could finally be back at full strength this weekend.
4. St. Aloysius (3) - The Lions suffered a 31-17 loss to CHS in the 1st meeting between these 2 in the season. The #4 ranking should be the floor for this Lions team.
5. SJV (5) - The Gators continue to lock up the #5 ranking. Thanks to a favorable draw, they were able to reach the semifinals in their tournament. They have a chance to move up after facing some higher ranked teams this week.
6. St. Jude (6) - The Cougars have a big matchup with CHS this week.
7. St. Theresa (8) - This is a well coached team with some size down low.
8. St. Alphonsus (unr) - The Hornets earned a solid victory over Dunham before losing to OLOM.

To be fair, Anthony Davis has the same timeline on his "injuries"

I would switch St Theresa and St Jude considering their win over them last week.

14 points? Is that a typo…all game?
Posted on 1/18/25 at 11:26 am to xBirdx
No. Games are short and not a lot of skill.
Posted on 1/18/25 at 2:13 pm to tigerpike
I know, we play the same .
Just thought 14 points was pretty low… lol.

Can't see any other scenario. They are really putting it to people right now.
