Crop comments: Before going on a holiday break, Gilmour was knocked from the ranks of the unbeaten with a 5-2 loss to St. Ignatius on Dec. 23. That same night, University dispatched St. Edward, 5-0. The Battle of SOM looms Jan. 4 at the Pavilion — with perhaps more rounds to follow. … Mentor did have a five-game unbeaten run halted by Shaker Heights, 3-2, on Dec. 28. Not to be repetitive, but this has been much better lately from the Cardinals. … Benedictine had a rough go of it in the Holly-Daze tournament out west but has a GCHSHL Red biggie looming against Rocky River on Jan. 3. … Kenston was idle during the window but returned to tournament action in the Bulldog Classic on Dec. 29.
Note: Games considered through Dec. 28.
