consecutive shutouts, the Golden Lions found themselves in the unfamiliar position of trailing at halftime. Marist's 1-0 advantage, though, was short-lived. St. Pius X senior Edmundo Robinson scored twice to bring his team from behind for a 2-1 victory. Robinson and company have upcoming dates with Grady and Dunwoody before their spring break. The Marist boys, meanwhile, have games this week against Cross Keys and Chamblee. The Lady War Eagles are set for consecutive contests Wednesday through Friday versus Cross Keys, Grayson and Chamblee.

 One of this week's most intriguing matchups saw West Hall outlast Dawson County in an overtime thriller between Region 7-AAA rivals on Tuesday. Richie Castruita opened the scoring for West Hall before Sal Mendoza provided an equalizer for Dawson County just prior to halftime. The Tigers also answered in the second half, with Brandon Lung responding to a West Hall goal by Simon Cobian. Lung's successful strike ultimately forced an extra frame with the score tied 2-2, but the Spartans took control when it mattered most. Cobian and Alejandro Romero found the back of the net in OT as West Hall prevailed 4-2.

 Two of the most highly-touted teams in Class AAA will be squaring off on Wednesday when Blessed Trinity hosts Westminster (both boys and girls). In Class AAAAAA, Walton is going up against Etowah and Harrison on Friday and Saturday, respectively.
