GOLDEN LEAGUE SHINED OVER HOLIDAYS.Byline: Chris Cocoles Daily News Staff Writer The Golden League had a happy holiday season.

Baptist at the Knights' tournament last week may be a sign of good times to come for the Spirits. By defeating a future Alpha League opponent, Paraclete's brutal nonleague schedule could have the Spirits prepared to compete with league favorite Marshall. Paraclete's 4-10 record is deceiving.
