January kicks off not only the new calendar year but also the start of the second half of the high school basketball season. While outside temperatures often dip, things inside gyms around the state are heating up as teams head down the home stretch of conference title races.

One of the more contentious battles will take place in the Suburban East Conference, where three teams remain undefeated.

White Bear Lake, along with Cretin-Derham Hall and East Ridge, enter the week with 2-0 records in league play while Woodbury is a game behind with a 1-1 mark.

The Bears and Royals meet Wednesday for what could be a pivotal matchup as both teams try to stay in the hunt for a title in a league with all but three teams boasting winning records through the first half of the season.

It also should help shape what promises to be a heck of a finish in the Suburban East and is our pick for the Top Game of the Week.
