Greetings HS hoops junkies from across the frigid Piedmont!  The Great One is here to release his latest Furious 5 rankings again and name his Game of the Week.  Last week, a nasty little thing called a “work schedule” canceled a visit to the Country Day – Latin game which was supposed to be his GOTW. Subsequently, it was another game that came down to the last shot with Latin winning 60-59.  The Sadster will still pay a visit to Coach Carrier and Country Day before the regular season is out to make up for the miss.  This week’s GOTW is a bitter rivalry between two old friends in Iredell County.  Lake Norman will host arch nemesis Mooresville for tea and crumpets Tuesday night and The Great One will be there to witness this battle for Greater Metro supremacy. The Blue Devils last visit to the Lake resulted in a buzzer-beating dunk allowing them to steal a road win on Senior night last season.  Steinhour and company will definitely be seeking some payback….. Last week’s action resulted in the #1 Ardrey Kell crashing back to Earth suffering the dreaded “double dip week” that sent the Knights to the DSO list.  Also, another F5 team fell from the always hot seated #5 slot as Independence fell to rival Butler.  Who is the new #1 and who enters the 5?  Without further ado, we will now go……TO THE 5!!!!

1. NORTH MECK – THE VIKINGS WENT 3-0 LAST WEEK, INCLUDING 2 40+ POINT WINS OVER “RIVALS”.

2. LAKE NORMAN – 3 GAMES, 3 BLOWOUT WINS FOR THE LAKERS.  HUGE HOME TILT TUESDAY VS. RIVAL MOORESVILLE.

3. MOORESVILLE – BLUE DEVILS ARE CARRYING AN 11-GAME WIN STREAK OVER TO THE LAKE TUESDAY NIGHT. 

4. CHAMBERS – THE COUGARS HAVE STRUNG TOGETHER A FEW WINS, INCLUDING A BIG WIN OVER PRIVATE SCHOOL POWER CHRIST SCHOOL.

5. CUTHBERTSON – THE CAVALIERS MAKE A GIANT LEAP AND RETURN TO THE 5 AFTER A FEW YEARS,  HAVE A HUGE HOME DATE WITH RIVAL WEDDINGTON TUESDAY FOR 1ST PLACE IN THE CONFERENCE. 

Don’t Sleep On:  Independence, Ardrey Kell, Catholic, Olympic 

There you have it folks!  Check back next week for the latest F5 and a recap of the Game of the Week.  Stay tuned!!!
