Our SureWest Sports coverage this week is all basketball and will feature a pair of very key Delta River League games in both boys and girls hoops.
On Tuesday, we'll be out to Elk Grove to see the No. 2 Pleasant Grove girls play host to the No. 3 Oak Ridge Trojans.
Pleasant Grove head coach James McKeever has his eyes set on a section championship, and possibly beyond, but even McKeever will be the first to say that a league title must come first and Oak Ridge will be the lone team standing in their way.
As for a big game on the boys side, do yourself a favor and go see No. 2 Sheldon at No. 1 Jesuit this Friday. This is a rematch of last year's Division I section championship game that was won by Sheldon, but this year Jesuit is a senior-heavy group and ready to make a run at a section title.
For the rest the full schedule of where we'll be this week, see below.
