High school boys basketball
MONDAY
Bedford at Bishop Carroll, 7:30
Notable: Two teams in the middle the the Laurel Highlands pack. A win for either team would be helpful.
Portage at Conemaugh Township, 7:30
Notable: Conemaugh Twp. should provide a big test for undefeated Mustangs. CT coming off lopsided win over Windber.
Richland at Bishop Guilfoyle, 7:15
Notable: Round one went to BG at the SportsCenter, but teams could still end up meeting two more times following this game.
Williamsburg at McConnellsburg, 7:30
Notable: Blue Pirates will be tested by one of the ICC South’s tougher squads.
TUESDAY
Hollidaysburg at Tyrone, 7:30
Notable: Golden Tigers won the first game but have been dealing with low numbers and they attempt for the season sweep.
WEDNESDAY
Bishop Guilfoyle at Bishop Carroll, 7:30

Penn Cambria at Richland, 7:30

FRIDAY
Claysburg-Kimmel at Northern Bedford, 7:30
Notable: Bulldogs and Black Panthers are both around the middle of the ICC South, which has been a good move so far for C-K.
Harrisburg at Altoona, 6:30
Notable: Mountain Lions will try and pull off the upset they narrowly missed on the road when they get back into action this week.
Hollidaysburg at Clearfield, 7:30
Notable: Bison edged Hollidaysburg at home, but Golden Tiger sophomores are starting to gain some experience.
Northern Cambria at Cambria Heights, 7:15
Notable: Basketball version of “Coal Bowl” should be a game for the Highlanders, who have played better since a slow start.
SATURDAY
Altoona at Mifflin County, 7
Notable: Rematch of last year’s District 6 Class 6A final. It’s always an important game when Lions play a possible playoff foe.

WEDNESDAY
Bishop Carroll at Bishop Guilfoyle, 7:15
Notable: Lady Marauders have been playing better recently, and this game could be a District 6 Class 1A playoff preview.
Central at Central Cambria, 7:15

THURSDAY
Juniata Valley at Williamsburg, 7:30 (varsity only)
Notable: Williamsburg has also seemingly turned a corner recently, but Juniata Valley should provide more of a challenge than some of the smaller schools in the ICC North.
Northern Bedford at Claysburg-Kimmel, 7
Notable: Lady Panthers had a tough second half against Everett last week, and C-K’s Rebekah Claar might be the best player on the court in this one.
