Last week, the Charlestown Townies took down top-ranked St. John's Prep, slightly shaking up the Top 20.

The Townies move up to No. 4 from the No. 8 spot, but was the win enough to clip the Eagles wings?

Senior guard Pat Connaughton is leading the charge for the Eagles, averaging 21.9 points per game, and a supporting cast led by junior Steve Haladyna, who's averaging 19.5 points per game is bound to give any team trouble.

Juniors Owen Marchetti and Mike Carbone, who's a threat to go off from 3-point land at any time, help give the Eagles a powerful offense.

St. John's Prep wii face a true test right before tournament time when they take on No. 2 Central Catholic Feb. 23.

Andover slid from No.4 to No. 8 after Lawrence handed the Golden Warriors their third loss of the season last week.

With the basketball season turning down the home stretch, things are about to get heavy come tournament time.
