Friday's Top Games
A look at the top games in Central Ohio on Friday
#5 (D1) Dublin Coffman (9-1) at #6 (D1) Upper Arlington (7-3)
Arguably the best rivalry in the OCC resumes at Upper Arlington tonight. This is a big one as both teams are among the best in the conference and in Division I. Dublin Coffman currently is tied atop the OCC-Central with Hilliard Bradley and needs a big win to stay there. Conversely, Upper Arlington has lost two games in league play and cannot afford a third if they are looking to compete for the league title. You can throw out the records any time these teams play and these games often include crazy endings. We expect the same today.
Relive a classic from the rivalry from the 2017-18 season here.
#2 (D3) Bishop Watterson (9-1) at #3 (D3) DeSales (5-3)
Speaking of elite rivalries, the top rivalry in the Central Catholic League is resuming tonight as the CCL kicks off league play. Both CCL matchups include four teams ranked inside the top three in their divisions, as all these squads could and likely will be district champions in a few months. Bishop Watterson has been on fire to start the year and is a buzzer beater away from being a perfect 10-0. DeSales is no stranger to buzzer beaters either, as they fell to Gahanna on one over the holiday break. The CCL is always a war and expect no different tonight.
