Teams of the week
SWIMMING ? South boys: Amid a light holiday week, the longtime Premier Athletic Conference power Rebels edged Mentor, 94-90, last week in a tri-meet that also included Andrews Osborne. Mike Bixel took the 50 freestyle and was on the winning 200 medley and 200 free relays.
WRESTLING ? Kenston: Coach Brian Malloy's squad dominated in a 58-21 win over Riverside just before Christmas. The Bombers have lost some big-name wrestlers since last year, including state-placer Tre Smith, but they are a deep and talented team with a lot of room for growth.
Lake Catholic: The Cougars got a five-point move from Sean Fee in the final bout of the night to defeat Mentor on criteria, with both teams tied at 31. It's a huge shot of adrenaline for the Cougars, who started the season with injury and illness problems.
BOYS BASKETBALL ? North: The Rangers won a pair of PAC games, defeating Madison and Riverside on the road by a combined 43 points, to improve to 5-1.
Games and events to watch
BOYS BASKETBALL ? Brush Holiday Tournament finals (Today, 7:30): The South-Euclid winner will take on the Brush-Berea winner in what should be an entertaining tournament championship game tonight.
BOYS BASKETBALL ? Kirtland at Berkshire (Wednesday, 7:30): The bitter CVC Valley rivals will hook up for the first of two matchups that should decide the league title.
GIRLS BASKETBALL ? Lake Catholic at Hathaway Brown (Jan. 5): A rematch of a regional final from last year. The Blazers are the reigning Division II state champions.
SWIMMING ? University in nonconference duals (Today and Jan. 5): US coach Brian Perry isn't about to let his three-time Division II state team champions have it easy during the holiday break, with showdowns at Carmel (Ind.) today and at Akron Firestone on Jan. 5. Continued...
WRESTLING ? Brecksville Holiday Tournament (today, 10 a.m., finals at 6:30 p.m.): If you didn't catch the opening round on Thursday, it's not too late to see Day 2 of this spectacular tournament.
WRESTLING ? NOC head-to-heads (Jan. 5): Mayfield travels to Elyria and Normandy invades Brush. Both duals will begin at 6 p.m. NOC wrestling is some of the best in the area.
WRESTLING ? Kirtland Triangular (Jan. 5, 6 p.m.): The Hornets welcome VASJ and Mentor's B team for a triangular.
Stats of the week
SWIMMING ? 7: Events at the Perry Invitational on Thursday in which a Turk girl had a hand in a Riverside win. Jodi Turk won the 50- and 100-yard freestyle, Kelsi took the 500 free, Marla was first in the 200 free and 100 butterfly and all three were on the Beavers' winning 200 medley and 400 free relays.
Boys basketball ? 50 percent: That's the amount of the schedule that South will have already played prior to the first of the year. In the first four weeks of the season, the Rebels will have played half of their regular-season schedule. Tonight will already be South's 10th game of the 2011-2012 season, meaning there will be a lot of down time in January and February as the Rebels gear up for the postseason. Over the next nine weeks leading into the tournament, they will play another 10 games.
WRESTLING ? 42.5: Margin between first-place Perry and second-place Crestwood going into the final round of the Kenston Invitational Tournament (191-148.5). Said Perry coach Dave Rowan, who was surprised how far his team was ahead, "I told them it was close so they would still wrestle hard."
