Forward Frank Murray scored a game-high 14 points, and reserve center Tom Barry sank four free throws in the final minute as host Providence Catholic rallied for a 56-52 victory Tuesday night over Lincoln-Way Central. With 19.5 seconds remaining in the game, Barry broke a 51-all deadlock with a pair of free throws.

Woynerowski contributed 11 points off the bench for Providence (3-1).

South Africa's derby hits world stage
The rivalry between South Africa's Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates might be less than four decades old and born of a rather unusual set of circumstances, but the passion and intensity involved nonetheless make it one of the biggest games in world football. On Saturday, however, the Soweto derby will be taken from its traditional arena in the outlying areas of Johannesburg to the coastal city of Durban on the eve of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ Preliminary Draw. In an historic event, Durban's King's Park stadium will play host to the two arch-rivals in desperate need of a fillip after a languid start to the new South African Premier League season. Both, in fact, go into the game languishing in the bottom half of the 16-club standings, desperate to use a positive result in the derby to revitalise their respective campaigns.
