FROM KEITH GROLLER


Updated LVC, Colonial League and Mountain Valley Conference standings and playoff scenarios after Friday's games.
COLONIAL LEAGUE
Northern Lehigh 49, Palmerton 36 -- Matt Egan and Tyler Dibilio combined for 31 for the Bullodgs.
Catasauqua 76, Palmeton 61 -- Paryss Marshall and Derrick Bond combined for 37.
Notre Dame 81, Wilson 68 -- Tannor Reed remained on fire, scoring 28, and the Crusaders claimed their ninth straight victory.
Southern Lehigh 52, Salisbury 50 -- Each team was playing without a key player -- Noah Kandt for the Spartans and Austin Uhl for the Falcons, who got a feel for the Southern Lehigh gyn where they'll play Catty on Wednesday night.
LEHIGH VALLEY CONFERENCE
Parkland 51, Whitehall 30 -- Zephyrs were 6-for-42 from the field. Enough said.
Liberty 56, Freedom 45 -- Jaevon Dobbins scored 22 points as the Hurricanes kept alive their hopes for the District 11 tournament. Nigel Long scored 18 for the Patriots, who finished a disappointing 8-14 after starting 4-1.
Central Catholic 75, Emmaus 56 -- Vikings still have to play Nazareth on Saturday before they can celebrate a perfect 22-0 regular season. Abdur-Rahkman scored 22, Baez 16,  while McCarthy and Jennings had 14 apiece for CCHS, who will enter as the LVC tournament as a huuuuuuuggggee favorite.
Nazareth 45, Northampton 39 -- It was a special night for Devon Roe. Read this touching story. http://www.mcall.com/sports/varsity/mc-nazareth-manager-roe-basketball-20140207,0,3897700.story Blue Eagles get to close the season at Rockne Hall on Saturday night and play the Washington Generals role on Senior Night for CCHS.
Easton and Becahi were postponed until Saturday night because of a leaky roof. Red Rovers can still qualify for the District 11 tournament.
MOUNTAIN VALLEY CONFERENCE
East Stroudsburg North 74, East Stroudsburg South 65 -- The Timberwolves bounced back from Thursday night's loss to PM West and will now play Stroudsburg in Tuesday's semis at PM West.
Lehighton 60, Notre Dame-ES 62 -- The Indians finish the regular season at 13-9 and now have the difficult task of playing PM West in the MVC tournament. West has defeated Lehighton twice this season and it wasn't close either time -- 77-47 and 85-48.
Pleasant Valley 57, Stroudsburg 55 -- It has been a difficult season for the Bears, but this one put some smiles on faces in Brodheadsville.
Pocono Mt. West 88, Pocono Mt. East 40 -- Freshman Lance Singh joins David Kachelries (Emmaus), Sam Iorio (Parkland) and Talek Williams (Allen) among the top newcomers this season and one of the main reasons why basketball's future is looking very bright. Singh made 7 3-pointers and scored 27 points as PM West rolled into the top seed for the upcoming MVC tourney. PM West has made a late-season push and ranks as the favorite for a MVC four-peat.
