Tuesday Preview:

Semaj Christon can  really turn some heads
if he can help lead WW to a victory Tuesday.

Several intriguing games including one must-see event highlight Tuesday's schedule:

• LaSalle @ Winton Woods: One of the most exciting non-conference games of the season, this will be a playoff like battle. With Brandon Neel, Josh Lemmons, Semaj Chrison, and more there is no shortage of star power either. Winton Woods seemed destined to meet up with LaSalle in the playoffs last year but fell short (blowing a big lead against St. Xavier), then lost a lot of talent to graduation. So far this year they have proven the doubters wrong however; Seniors Semaj Christon, Dion Dearmond, and Dennis Thomas have all been awesome this year for Winton Woods. For LaSalle it's mostly the same team as last year: tons of talent, experience, and a group that plays really well together. This one should be exciting and a high scoring, up-tempo affair.
  • Prediction: Winton Woods is good enough to compete but not good enough to win. LaSalle looks like the top team in the city (along with Moeller), they should win this one.
    
    
• Lakota East @ Colerain: Most people are probably expecting East to beat up on Colerain after the start that they've had. CPHR is expecting a little closer game. Eli'sha Campbell, Colerain's leader over their up and down start, will be back from his ankle injury; and Bryan Porter, the star sophomore shooting guard, is really coming into his own after giving Northwest 35 points last game. In a home game that they must win Colerain should come out motivated to show that they belong near the top of the GMC standings. However, saying that Colerain will win would be bold; Lakota East is playing with a ton of confidence and is a team with a firm focus on their goal of a league title. Senior point guard Mike Boyd will be a very tough matchup for Colerain, if he gets loose early it will be long night for the Cards.
  • Prediction: Lakota East wears down Colerain in the second half and wins comfortably.
