SLUH Defeats Vianney on Senior Night
On a night honoring the 8 seniors, the SLUH Varsity Basketball team beat the Vianney Golden Griffins for the second time in as many attempts. The senior players: Eric Devlin, Andy Hill, Luis Soffner, Ben Evans, and managers: Matt Cochrane, Harry Pettey, Drew Blackmon, and Riley O'Neill have been a real asset to the SLUH basketball program. Thank you seniors. As for the game, the Jr. Bills looked to be on cruise control during the first half, building a 28-15 lead. The Golden Griffins would not go away as they fought and clawed back to within 4 at one point. The Jr. Bills free throw shooting helped to ice the game and the MCC victory by a score of 50-43. A balanced attack was led by Luis Soffner and Darrin Young with 10. Tim Cooney had 9 points and Andy Hill and Eric Devlin added 8 and 7 points each. The two teams will meet on in the first round of districts a week from Wednesday at Webster High School at 6:00. Next action for the Jr. Bills is Monday against the DuBourg Cavaliers at 6:00 pm.
