So this is a big week for us and we'll know a little more after this week."

From school and staff reports

With just two weeks left in the season, every game is big for the East Central men's basketball team. The Warriors are currently tied for first place with Jones, thanks to a pair of wins last week over Southwest and Meridian. The Warriors have won five straight in South Di vision play. "I trunk our team chemistry is gettingbetter," ECCC men's coach Robert Thompson said. 'We are starting to play better on defense. That's a big key if we are going to continue to have success. We have to be a whole lot more unselfish on both ends of the court and stay committed to doing the things it takes to win and de fend our opponent."
