The team started with a 43-35 victory over local rival St Dominic. Raghav Vijayapal and Eddie Schoyer led the offense, both scoring in double figures. The team then ran into a buzz saw with its matchup against Holy Apostles, who went on to win the tournament. Although we lost the game 46-23, the team showed great heart and character after falling behind 11-0. Garrett Priebe led the way with his aggressive play.
The team capped off the tournament with a hard fought win over St Matthias 39-33. Tyler Fletcher was tasked with guarding the best player the team has faced so far this year, and he stepped up to the challenge.
Offensively, there were great contributions from the whole team as our crisp passing forced St Matthias players to abandon their zone defense early in the game. While St Matthias came back to within one point in the final minute, our boys rose to the challenge and pressed on to victory.
-Coach Eric Weiss
Blue
The Blue team began its season with a 53-29 victory on the road against Christian Education Leadership Academy (CELA) this past Thursday.
After some first game jitters, the team settled down and went on a run.
Point guard and leading scorer, Tyler Grande, controlled the game nicely for BA, having just one turnover in his 22 minutes of action.
Talal Sana added 18 points on offense, while Beau Libbey frustrated the opposing team's point guard by playing great defense.
The play of the night belonged to Lincoln Weil, as he secured an offensive rebound and then made a shot that hit the top of the backboard before falling through the net.
The Blue team begins league play Saturday, December 11, at Christ King. Tip-off is scheduled for 10:15 am.
-Coach Michael Rajchel
