Among the AAA divisions, PCL Red is considered far more competitive than PCL Blue. For that reason the Holy Ghost Firebirds (ranked No. 1 overall) were favored heavily in last night's match with Roman Catholic (first place in PCL Blue). But the Cahillites were having none of it. Story (Jan 29)

Doubts for now about who ranks first among AA teams were put to rest after the No. 1 Council Rock South Golden Hawks scored a decisive 3-1 victory over the No. 2 Council Rock North Indians in a battle of squads that were both undefeated until last Friday's "Battle of the Rocks." The score did not reflect the true margin of difference however because the star of the game was on the losing side. Indians goalie Jessie Goldberg kept the match close with a stand-out performance.
