MEN

TRACY ABRAMS (Mount Carmel) — Had 10 points as Mount Carmel struggled with a depleted Bishop McNamara squad last Friday, winning 51-42. The Caravan travels to De La Salle and Mike Shaw on Friday.

BRANDON PAUL (Warren)  —  Gutted out a finger injury on his shooting hand that forced him to shoot free throws left-handed last Saturday as Warren lost to Stevenson 59-56.
