Three Stay Unbeaten in SCIRF League
St. Augustine, Cathedral Catholic, and Fallbrook are all atop the SCIRF league now after all three won over the weekend.

North Carolina Update: Unbeatens Stay Unbeaten
Laney HS improved to 3-0 and South Mecklenburg improved to 3-0-1 in North Carolina school action over the weekend, and both are chasing Hough, which also won.
Both Laney and South Meck expected close games and both got them. Hough, meanwhile, won relatively comfortably over Clover HS, as expected, to improve to 4-0.
