As we approach mid-January, the focus on our top games list for the week focuses on league play especially in the larger classifications. In determining the list of the most important ten games in each class, we leaned toward conference pairings and in some cases, chose them over a highly anticipated non-league contest.
An added feature this week is that we narrow the list a bit and in bold, make the picks for the most important three games in each class. Photo is provided by Lance Wendt.
Colorado Preps will breakdown these games and more with our weekly previews spread across the next few days. Then we’ll wrap up the week with the Basketball Scoreboard Show; heard on 17 radio stations each Friday from 8-10pm.
