Things are a long way from being settled in the 6A-Central Conference, but Little Rock Catholic took a giant step in solidifying its playoff status Tuesday night.

A torrid third quarter was enough to override a sloppy fourth quarter as the Fort Smith Northside Grizzlies defeated the Little Rock Catholic Rockets 58-50 on Tuesday night in Little Rock.

BRYANT -- Mike Abrahamson wasn't expecting a clean game from his team Friday night against Little Rock Catholic, but Bryant's long-time coach did anticipate them enduring everything the Rockets threw at them.

Russellville's Grayson Sims and Donyae May did the same thing Saturday that they did Friday during the John Stanton Classic. They took turns shouldering the bulk of the scoring load for the Cyclones, and it was enough to carry them to another impressive victory.
