Saint Pat's-Life Center Cancelled; Philly's Top Teams Keep Rolling

The top high school team in America was slated to play in South Jersey last night. Unfortunately for fans, the match-up between Kyrie Irving's Saint Patrick's team and Dion Waiters' Life Center Academy was canceled. Michael Gilchrist of Saint Pat's, considered the top junior in America, remains out of the lineup due to injury. As mentioned on here last week, top 50 junior LaQuinton Ross is now at Life Center, where he will give them another perimeter threat alongside the Syracuse-bound Waiters.
