Other games to keep an eye on

Spectrum vs. Maranatha Christian Academy, 7 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 23. No. 7-2A Spectrum (18-2, 10-1) could prove to be a speed bump for No. 4-2A Maranatha (20-2, 12-0), which is on a run to a Minnesota Christian Athletic Association Conference title.

East Ridge vs. Cretin-Derham Hall, 3 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 23. Cretin-Derham Hall (16-5, 9-2) struggled to start the season, then won 12 of 13 games. How much the Raiders have improved will be put to the test in a string of games against high-powered teams including Suburban East rival No. 4-4A East Ridge (19-2, 11-0).

Warroad vs. Roseau, 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 19. C'mon, in hockey this is a no-brainer. Does the rivalry between Warroad (12-10, 1-4) and Roseau (17-5, 3-2) carry over to the basketball court? Tuesday will surely be the proof.
