Games of the day – Galileo vs. Washington girls basketball: Both teams are 5-1 in AAA play and if the Lions want to stay within reach of Lowell in the Neff Division, a win over the Eagles is essential. Lick-Wilmerding vs. Urban boys basketball: Many thought the Tigers had a shot at being in first place in the BCL West at this point in the season, but the Blues are a bit of a surprise. The winner of this game will likely remain in a first-place tie with University. St. Ignatius vs. Sacred Heart Cathedral girls basketball: The Wildcats are riding high after their best win of the season over Mitty last week, but it would be unwise to overlook the Irish, which stand in third place in the WCAL standings.

Boys Basketball: Lee seals the deal in Lincoln’s road win over Lowell 

By Jeremy Balan

Despite trailing the entire game against Lincoln High School, Lowell was lingering late in the fourth quarter and was only down by eight points with 2 minutes remaining.

That’s when Lincoln junior guard Mitchell Lee single-handedly shut the door on the Cardinals.

In just over a minute of game time, Lee hit a straightaway 3-pointer, pick-pocketed a Lowell guard and scored a fast-break layup, took a charge on defense and knocked down two free throws to seal Lincoln’s 55-42 Academic Athletic Association win at Lowell.

Boys Basketball: Edwards leads Mission to home victory over Lowell 

By Bonta Hill

Mission High School forward Gione Edwards slumped through the non-league season, as off-the-court issues plagued his on-court performance and nearly got him cut from the team.

But since Academic Athletic Association league play began, Edwards has shaken off the issues and has catapulted himself into the conversation for City Player of the Year.

Edwards played a key role again for the Bears, with 21 points and 17 rebounds in Mission’s 66-54 victory over visiting Lowell on Friday.
